This is shaping up to be one of the closer House races, with Reichert probably having a slight edge. SurveyUSA had a somewhat surprising poll a while back that had Reichert up 13, but this one seems to be more in line with reality.

Who is the incumbent?

This seems about right to me.

[Seattle Conservative]

Reichert is my current Rep. I don't agree w him on some issues, but definitely voting for him and not Darcy.

Dang, I thought the name Dave Reichert sounded familiar.

I guess I remember him from an A&E documentary on the Green River Killer
case. And how he detailed the ordeal of hanging tough for the length of
the investigation.

From Reichert's Congressional website:

In 1972 Reichert joined the Sheriff’s Office and in 1997 he became King
County’s first elected sheriff in over 30 years. Under his leadership,
the county saw a significant drop in violent crime.
Reichert brought national recognition to the Sheriff’s Office as head
of the task force solving the largest serial murder case in U.S. history.
As sheriff, Reichert also brought an unprecedented $28 million in
federal funding to King County law enforcement efforts.

The WA-8th was gerrymandered to be a GOP district. That the former King County Sheriff isn't doing pluralistically-well is a little bit disturbing.

Not a bad bellwether race, however. A lot of time left.

[Clintonfatigued]

"50% Reichert (R)
48% Burner (D)
3% Undecided"

That adds up to 101%.

I think Reichert will beat the confused Mrs. Burner by 10 points minimum. Survey USA has Cantwell at 54%, that's too high also.
