[Crumpets]

My ballot:

[Seattle]

Turnout as of 8PM yesterday,

Seattle: 94,347    (20.65% turnout)
LD-45: 27,060 (29.21% turnout)

I'll post today's 12PM update when it's available.

Seattle: 123,351 (27.00%)
LD-45: 31,821 (34.35%)

Higher turnout at this time than for the primary. Next update comes at 8PM, with the first dump of results. I wish they'd continue to update results throughout election night, as counting continues, instead of waiting until 4PM the next day.

King county surprised with a 5PM update:

Seattle: 131,607 (28.81%)
LD-45: 32,416 (34.99%)

Eagerly awaiting results... Likely Durkan win, thinking Dhingra smashes Englund after watching the East Coast over-performance.

Is there a results page for Washington on the AP?

Not sure about the AP, but this is where I'm getting my results: http://mynorthwest.com/category/election_race_list/

Ooph, Moon down 60.6-40.4, no way she can make that up. Final result will probably be 54-46.

[Seattle]

Mosqueda destroying Grant 61.5-38.5, Gonzalez cruising to a 67.5-32.5 victory over Murakami.

Hallelujah!!

Our Long state nightmare is over

Moon losing makes me sad, even though I only really made my final decision in the race while filling out the ballot. Seems like all good news apart from that, though.

Very sad the Republican won the Seattle Mayor's race but other than that a good night.

One must be mentally er-r-r..... peculiar person to call Durkan a Republican)))))

Some unfortunate results on the Port of Seattle. Still don’t know why we vote for those hacks

Spokane kept its progressive supermajority

Spokane Valley’s most conservative councilors swept out. Internecine GOP feud between Sheriff Ozzie and Nutjob Matt Shea, but still positive

Good results for urbanists in Western WA. Mosqueda was the big one. Too bad Moon didn’t win, but I hope she helped nudge Durkan in a good direction

Sounds like we held some key Mayoralties and flipped a few, like in Kent

[KingSweden]

Looks like some mixed bags in terms of councils in Bellevue and Redmond. Kirkland all 3 I voted for won. And some great news! As of right now KC Sheriff Urquhart is losing to Johanknecht. Considering how late ballots break I bet it holds.

[Virginiá]

KingSweden - so when does Dhingra actually take office? It should be almost immediately, right?

A few weeks from now, I think. Votes need to be certified.

Probably late November/early December.

How does Durkan compare to Moon when it comes to Sound Transit?

No discernible difference, IMO. Moon’s urbanist profile probably would have made her better to spearhead Transit oriented development, though.

Virtually no change in the margin after the 2nd day of counting.

And thus the Democrats now officially run the Senate

I find the choice of Steve Hobbs to run Transportation interesting. He’s a bit of a conservadem and I hope he doesn’t become Mary Margaret Haugen 2.0
