One of these three finalists will fill Washington state Senate vacancy representing Tacoma

Oct. 16—Three candidates have been chosen as finalists to fill a vacancy in the Washington state Senate, representing the north Tacoma area.

Democratic state Sen. Jeannie Darneille announced in September she would be resigning her seat in the 27th Legislative District to take a new assistant secretary position for the Women's Prison Division in the state Department of Corrections. Darneille was first elected to the Legislature in 2000 as a representative, and elected to the Senate in 2012.

The district's Democratic precinct committee officers voted on Saturday to select Yasmin Trudeau, Desiree Wilkins Finch and LaMont Green as the three finalists.

The Pierce County Council will make the final selection from the three. That vote is expected in the coming weeks, after Darneille's resignation becomes official.
