Didn't say this this first time bc 280 chars, but when asked about the gun incident: they mayor portrayed himself as *the victim* in this incident. Just really, really gross stuff.
![Excerpt from KUOW's reporting:
She said they didn’t realize they had taken a spot he wanted. “All we know is for some reason we got a gun pointing at us from the vehicle,” she said.
Harrell says he was racially profiled by a private security officer at the casino. He would not elaborate how.
Housen also told KUOW Harrell hired a law firm in 1996 to write to the casino that Harrell’s constitutional rights were violated because of “unreasonable search and seizures based on racial profiling.”
No lawsuit was filed and there was no monetary settlement for Harrell, Housen said, because matters were resolved between both parties.
“In some ways, this was an introduction to the hostilities the mayor would receive as a public servant, and reminiscent of the treatment and bigotry he has received throughout his life as a biracial person by people of all races and backgrounds who see him as different,” Housen said by email last week, referring to the death threats.
An official at the casino spoke with KUOW on condition of anonymity because their job does not allow them to speak with the press. They were there that evening and interacted with Harrell and the Sanchezes.
They said they were surprised by the Sanchez’ complaint, because Harrell was dressed “like an attorney,” surely not the type to brandish a weapon.
They said they don’t recall there being a group of men that approached Harrell, and they don’t remember the conflict being resolved between the two parties before law enforcement got involved.

“You have reviewed documentation from the time, across multiple mediums, and by trying to reconstruct alleged events and contradicting the record through this interview 30 years later, there is a danger of significantly misrepresenting the facts as they exist in the record,” said mayor spokesperson Housen.
Housen also said present-day media stories about Harrell brandishing a gun have forced him to relive his trauma.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:e5xh43ug635yavan4soboqmq/bafkreiekuy32di5yplduqhxtnpdzpwkt3hrvfozo5hecj6xuxuaum3f3kq@jpeg)

Here's a more direct analog for percentage of voter turnout by age range for 2021 (again albeit for King County as a whole and not Seattle proper, so take with a grain of salt):

I was able to find ballot returns by age for 2021, but for all of King County (rather than just Seattle). Would not surprise me if KC skews older than Seattle Proper, so slap a big fat asterisk on this if you want to compare.

Aw dang, I misread the KCE website, we only get election-night precinct results tomorrow, which will be borderline obsolete already. :(
