Harrell is now at 116,435 vs Wilson's 112,135. Wilson got over 5k more new votes than Harrell today, and today's ballot drop is less than half of the outstanding vote. So a similar margin in the remainder would have Wilson narrowly pull ahead.
Happy Friday of Election Week! We expect to post around 100,000 ballots in today’s results update. That will leave around 120,000 ballots left to count, so we’ll have a large number to post on Monday, too.

Friday 11/7: Wilson made up quite a bit of ground today.

Thursday 11/6: Slight movement towards Wilson today, as expected with the later vote. Still a lot of ground to make up and a lot of votes outstanding, so it's really hard to say much more than it'll be interesting to see tomorrow's results!

King County elections confirmed to me that so far they’ve only counted ballots up to those submitted Monday or early on Election Day, and none from drop boxes. Wednesday reflects basically a wrap up of what they started counting Tuesday.
The general wisdom is that Wednesday is a continuation of election night and Thursday is when the lefty trend shows up. Nonetheless, this gives Harrell a bigger cushion heading into tomorrow and Friday.
Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell gained another point on progressive challenger Katie Wilson in today's ballot drop, which added about ~21,000 ballots. She trails by 8 points.
Expected bigger counts tomorrow and Friday, which are typically more progressive-favoring. Comeback still possible.

Well. That's not a shift to Wilson. She did lose ground on one day of the primary count, but needs something dramatic now.
90k to 100k votes left, Wilson trails by 11,183. She needs at least 55% of the remaining votes.

Wednesday update: with the 11/5 King County results, no evidence of a shift yet. Harrell maintains a lead of about 74k to Wilson's 63k, meaning his lead actually expanded from 8k to 11k with the second day of counting. [1/n]

The Seattle mayoral election will be a nailbiter for sure. Incumbent Bruce Harrell is currently up 62k votes to challenger Katie Wilson's nearly 54k.
But as is typical for Seattle and its mail-in ballot reporting (there is no in-person voting in WA state), that leaves a lot of uncertainty. [1/n]

The problem with every post-Millennial generation is they got to go straight to high speed internet. Of course you'll get computer madness that way. Make them start with those old screeching modems and work their way up

perhaps soon, going solar need not involve tens of thousands of dollars and an onslaught of logistics. here's how small, simple, plug-in solar arrays - and the laws to support them - are beginning to gain traction in the U.S.
Can Plug-in Solar Work in the U.S.?
Europeans have enjoyed it for years. Now, through careful state interventions and creative salesmanship from startups, Americans are close to having their turn.

This list is just brutal to read. A collection of some of the most impactful and effective things the US has accomplished, now all gone. And torn down in such an intentionally destructive way as to eliminate any sort of mitigation or soft landing.
The Trump administration terminates funding for polio, HIV, malaria and nutrition programs around the world.
“People will die,” said Dr. Catherine Kyobutungi of the African Population and Health Research Center, “but we will never know, because even the programs to count the dead are cut.”
