These are primary turnouts for the last 5 years. Note that 'Registered' here is strictly those voters involved in the Primary election. In odd (local) election years, many counties have partial precinct participation:

Turnout
Below are top 15 county turnout numbers for the 2019 Primary. The certification period is over. Whatcom County currently has the the highest percentage turnout among the top fifteen counties for registered voters (39.51%). Statewide turnout is 29.56%. Almost all votes are counted. The WA SoS certified this election on August 23rd. This data is from https://results.vote.wa.gov/results/20190806/Turnout.html Click to enlarge the chart:
Notable Whatcom County and 40th LD Results as of 08/24. Numbers may change until certification and new issuance of VRDB:
Whatcom County from https://results.vote.wa.gov/results/current/whatcom/ :
- 57,240 out of 147,265 voted Whatcom County Executive
- 23,554 out of 58,124 voted for Bellingham Mayor
- 36,489 out of ~96K voted in this 40th Primary.
36.5K out of 96K registered voted in this 40th Primary. Kershner(R) and Elenbaas(R) trounced their opponents in WM County Council districts 4 and 5. Tony Larson(R) topped Satpal Sidhu(D) by almost 2K votes. This primary appears to me to be a Republican victory. I would guess that would extend to many of the counties in the state. The age numbers below are from the 08/06 matchback so they are not complete yet, but clearly the post 60 generation decided this ballot. Where the youth and middle-aged voters were in this election, I do not know. For more information on demographics from the final Whatcom County matchback see this post.
Where Were The Youth?
These numbers are from State 08/06 matchback. I will update when more current data is available.[1] For numbers from the State on age groups see here.

[1] The code to analyze matchbacks is complex because that data has mixed Ballot Statuses that change as certification progresses and also because primaries in 'local' year elections which involve partial county votes. Here is the state 08/06/2019 BallotStatus and ChallengeReason tallies:
