To track down the amount of contributions received by the candidates or campaigns you are covering, you should become familiar with a few essential websites. We'll go into these with more depth when we write the money stories, but if you want to quickly learn how to use them either of us can help out.
Here they are:
1) Seattle Elections and Ethics Commission (this one is self-explanatory and very easy to use)
http://www2.ci.seattle.wa.us/ethics/elpub/el_home.asp
2) Washington State Public Disclosure Commission (contains information on all statewide races, including initiatives and referendums, and on spending by lobbyists. Information on the King County prosecutors race is listed here as well)

3)King County Elections
