The special election for Jay Inslee's former seat in Congress finally has its first candidates.

Carin Chase announced on Tuesday that she will be running for the seat in the "old" 1st Congressional District that Inslee vacated to run for governor. The daughter of State Sen. Maralyn Chase, she is currently the chair of the 32nd District Democrats.

A Bainbridge Island man, J. Byron Holcomb, has also filed to run for the seat. He is a lawyer on the island, which will no longer be a part of the district after January. He will also run as a Democrat. Another Democrat, former Lynnwood City Council member Lisa Utter, is collecting signatures so she can be put on the ballot, as well.

She is running to finish Inslee's term in Congress. Whomever wins the special election for Inslee's seat will only serve for a month, as redistricting has created a new 1st Congressional District. Many of the cities that will vote in the special election for Inslee's seat, including Lynnwood, Edmonds, Shoreline, Poulsbo and Mukilteo, will be in new congressional districts for 2013.

In a statement, Chase said that the important thing was that Inslee's seat stay in his party.

Drivers should prepare for possible delays on Wednesday as crews work on the 240th Street Southeast Bridge.

Six cars crashed and four people were injured early Saturday when a suspected drunk driver pulled a U-turn and headed the wrong way up Interstate 5 near Everett, officials said.

State troopers were called to the scene, on I-5 near Highway 526, at about 2:10 a.m. after receiving a report of a wrong-way driver and multiple collisions.

When troopers arrived, they determined that the chain reaction was triggered by the driver of a 1997 Plymouth Breeze.

The Plymouth originally was headed south on I-5 when the driver exited at the Silver Lake rest area, made a U-turn, then headed north in the southbound lanes, the State Patrol said.

The car made it a mile and a half heading in the wrong direction up I-5, sideswiping two other cars that were heading south.

After that, traffic stalled because of the crashes, and one of the cars that was sideswiped was hit from behind by another car. Then another car smashed into that car.

Eventually, six vehicles were involved. The Plymouth Breeze and two other cars, a 2002 Pontiac Grand Am and a 1998 Plymouth Neon, were totalled in the crash.
