SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) - Five people have applied for a state Senate seat from northeast Washington that becomes available Jan. 1 when veteran state Sen. Bob Morton retires halfway through his term. The 7th District extends through Spokane, Pend Oreille, Stevens, Ferry and Okanogan counties. County commissioners will appoint a replacement from among three nominees selected by Republican precinct committee officers. The Spokesman-Review reports applicants so far include a county commissioner, a former legislator and a former legislative aide.
