With primary ballots due Tuesday, Seattle voters are still trying to make sense of a crowded mayor's race.

For thelatest episode of "The Overcast," Seattle Times political reporter Jim Brunner and City Hall reporter Dan Beekman hit the pavement to find out what voters care about and which names come up out the 21 candidates vying to lead the state's largest city.  

The above is an excerpt from "The Overcast," The Seattle Times weekly politics podcast. The whole episode features more voices from voters around Seattle.

You can find "The Overcast" on iTunes, Tunein, Sticher and SoundCloud.
