At 55.13% turnout for Seattle this election is now the second highest turnout since 2021 which had 55.30% turnout.
Before 2011 it's precinct data only which would make getting turnout numbers painful.

Something that really pisses me off? People pathologizing complexity. When someone uses “complex” as a polite euphemism for “difficult” or even “I fail to understand that person,” it subtly equates complexity with pathology.
