Another interesting note, about 240 ballots that were previously challenged due to signature issues. This suggests "ballot curing efforts" may be having an effect and could even prove decisive. About 1,700 ballots remained challenged, according to King County Elections.

Game 5 of the ALDS has entered the 9,748th inning, the Sounders are in round 3,250 of their shootout and Katie Wilson leads the vote count for mayor by 91 votes. Seattle just doesn’t like knowing results.

Every person you annoyed on Election Day? Time to annoy them again but to ensure their vote counted!

SEATTLE!!!

We’ve now taken the lead by 91 votes! 🤯 This thing is certainly not over! Over 1,000 ballots have been challenged, so if you haven’t tracked your ballot yet get on it! Our trusty volunteers have been working hard to "cure" ballots so they count! We're so close!

When we say every vote counts, we mean it!
With today’s update, Katie Wilson now leads Bruce Harrell in the Seattle mayor race by 91 votes!

I’m just going to go read some essays by @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social and drink tea until the foreseeable future.

About to take the best kind of nap: next to a giant pile of laundry on the bed that I have no intention on immediately folding.

My daughter woke up and requested a trip to Pike Place Market. It has been a truly delightful morning. I love Seattle.

It is so nice to access the waterfront and the playground isn’t too crowded either!

Arts make a city wonderful! We need affordable cities so people can dance, play music, do theater and make things! We need orgs, venues, rehearsal space and studios.

In the past few months I’ve seen ballet on grief, live music that moved me, theater that made me laugh.

We’re on the right track! Make sure you track your ballot to confirm it is accepted, NOT challenged. Check our links in bio to do so! More votes will be counted on Monday!

Claudia Balducci has conceded the King County Executive race to Girmay Zahilay after today's results. However, Balducci will remain on the King County Council and Sound Transit Board of Directors.

Katie Wilson won 54.85% to Bruce Harrell’s 44.86% of the 56,118 votes counted today. She could overtake Harrell at this rate.

The next update will be on Monday. Stay tuned!
Wilson-mentum is real.

The gap in the Seattle Mayor's race has narrowed to just 4,300 votes, or 1.88%.

This is the election equivalent of a 15-inning ALCS game jfc
Per King County elections, expect around 30,000 ballots in Seattle's drop today. Seems likely this thing is headed to next week.

Crosslake light rail update! Via CEO Dow Constantine at today's executive committee meeting: Sound Transit was just granted approval to start running test trains across I-90 during the day, in addition to the overnight testing that had been taking place.

Looks like today will be full of feminist rage and I haven’t even finished making my coffee.

I love mail in voting except for this slow burn waiting for the results.

Annoying friends is a critical GOTV strategy today! I just got three people to commit to filling their ballots out and putting them in the box!

Washington residents who have not yet voted: Our Secretary of State and local election officials recommend returning your ballot to an official county drop box or in person at a voting center, rather than mailing in your ballot. Recent USPS changes could delay postmarking.

Indirectly on the ballot today: Sound Transit.

As many as seven board seats could change hands as the result of local races today, with a bare minimum of two new members joining the board ahead of the most impactful set of board decisions in twenty years.
