I would not expect anything before Christmas, frankly.

They met again today and say they're close. Meeting scheduled for tomorrow has been cancelled; next meeting on Tuesday. I don't expect them to have anything then but I also wouldn't be surprised.

If they split Seattle, I'm going to be royally pissed. What are the chances of that 'minority majority' district?

They're claiming they'll have congressional maps tomorrow.

Just a random question.... but what was the point of extending the first into Seattle and 7th up into Lake Forest Park in the 2000 redistricting?

I'm not sure.

The 1st was the Seattle district for a long time (A Seattle-Kitsap district at times). When they added the 7th district in the 70s, they based it in South King County, adding South Seattle to it. They had 7 legislative districts per congressional district (7x7=49). Of the 8 Seattle LDs, the southern three were in the 7th, and the northern five were in the 1st. The 7th took more of North Seattle during later redistrictings, so the current situation might simply be a remnant of that.

It seems likely that 2010 will see the 1st's migration out of Seattle and Kitsap completed. We'll know for sure tomorrow. Smiley

Are the voting results of the proposed legislative districts available anywhere? Obviously the commissioners use them to draw their maps. I guess they feel like they have to omit this data so fewer people realize that they're partisan hacks.

Thanks, okay, that makes sense... except the 7th extends up into Lake Forest Park. For the longest time, I assumed McDermott lived there, but apparently he lives in South Seattle, so that mystery remains.

I think we should wait to see what the new districts look like before asking that question.

Yeah, we lost big time. Between Nickels getting 25% in a primary and liquor landsliding, I think it's safe to say Tim Ceis is a joke who should never work again.

Wait, that seems not to be the final map. Or possibly just not technically yet.

Am I missing something or does that look REALLY solid for the GOP?

3,4,5,8 look like solid districts, and 1 is reasonably so.

This is an absolutely fantastic map for the GOP. In fact, you would think Republicans were fully in control of our state government if you did not know we had bipartisan redistricting!

I hope someone investigates Tim Ceis thoroughly. He's a very shady character, and there is a pretty decent chance he was bribed to accept this map.

This is a furking disaster! I'm furious..... Splitting Seattle.... what is the second... it's disgusting, or for that matter the 8th. I need to go throttle something Tongue

At least the 3rd looks 'nice'.

Oh, and Tacoma is split a nice even three ways, lovely.

The Eastside is now split between three districts as well. We were Austinized.

The 2nd appears to be a 'round up all the Democrats in 5 counties' district. Looks like it includes Bellingham?
