Lauren Barnes played her last pro game tonight: 252 #NWSL regular season appearances, 21,000+ minutes -- the only player to ever achieve either, and she did it entirely in Seattle. End of an era.

One more interesting race that has flown under the radar:
Naren Briar will likely defeat Conrad Lee in Bellevue Council Position 2.
Lee is a former Bellevue Mayor and has been on the Council since '94 & BEFORE Briar was born.
She would be first Kurdish-American to win office.
