Hmm

I haven’t noticed any engagement differences, but I didn’t realize how much was being hidden by default.

I’ve said this many times but it’s worth repeating: When it comes to voting, we have an Election Day deadline. When it comes to election results, we have an Election Week. The more media sets this expectation, the less confusion and more trust we’ll have in our great vote by mail system. #waelex

This question (and others like it) don’t need to be discussed or debated. They just need to be mocked and shamed.

🚨 As of 8:00am today, King County Elections is reporting that turnout in the City of Seattle has reached 54.83% with 277,102 ballots received. A note about last night’s update: turnout was actually reported as 50.26%. So turnout has grown another 4.5% overnight.

King County elections confirmed to me that so far they’ve only counted ballots up to those submitted Monday or early on Election Day, and none from drop boxes. Wednesday reflects basically a wrap up of what they started counting Tuesday.

Was just reminded of this 😮🤣

In Lake Forest Park, just six votes currently separate urbanist candidate Josh Rosenau from his opponent John Lebo.

Congratulations! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Joi Washington will become the first woman and person of color to serve as Media mayor Washington garnered 77% of the vote in Media on Tuesday, beating out Kevin Kellog, a Republican who unsuccessfully ran for mayor in 2021. Congratulations @joi4mayor.bsky.social! 🙌🏾

Yes. For months now I've been saying it. ICE officers only have immunity when acting within their lawful authority. They don't have the authority to use excessive force. It's essential that they be held accountable--under STATE LAW--when they do. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/03/u...

This is a big deal

In early results, Katie Wilson trails incumbent Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell by 7 points, which would put her within reach of catching him in late returns. This is going to be a nailbiter.

Katie Wilson trails Mayor Bruce Harrell in the first night tally: Katie Wilson 53,767 votes, 46.18% Bruce Harrell 62,086 votes, 53.32% Write-in 580 votes, 0.50% In WA, we vote by mail with one update daily. In Seattle, it’s not unusual for progressive candidates to start behind and pull ahead

I’d like to give special thanks to @theneedling.com for getting me through this campaign season.

Anonymous and unidentified federal agents make all of us less safe.

When I was young and the economy was in the midst of a recession, one of the more attractive features of DC for me was that I wouldn’t need a car to move around. I also have a degree in Government, so it lined up, but people shouldn’t have to move across the country for that.

I love road trips. I dig Formula 1. I LOATHE car commuting. It has robbed so much time from my life. Transit is less stressful, less expensive, and I can listen to podcasts, music and audiobooks. Or just think. I experience more of the city and more community when walking, biking or on transit.

PSA for Seattle procrastinators: If you're voting today or tomorrow, USE A DROP BOX, NOT THE MAIL! The USPS won't guarantee your timely ballot is postmarked on time. Locations of ballot boxes: cd.kingcounty.gov/en/dept/elec... More details: publicola.com/2025/10/03/p...

The long dark is upon us 😔 I am counting the days until March.

Would you believe me if I told you that what anime & manga fans like are drawings

And again, a pattern of putting out statements accusing people of serious Federal crimes and then releasing them hours or days or weeks later with no charges. And no retraction.

Thank you @atg.wa.gov!

WA AG joins multi-state coalition supporting transgender student-athletes’ rights “Attorney General Nick Brown officially joined 12 other states in a court brief supporting trans-inclusive sports policies.”

Data from ICE shows that none of its agents have ever been killed by an immigrant in the agency’s more than two-decade history.

I don’t follow cricket (except when my little nephews play in the backyard) but I do care about women’s sports, and this is an amazing story. 🧡🇮🇳💚🏏 www.tiktok.com/@jcubedhax/v...

Confused about all the local candidates on your ballot? Let us help you separate the MAGA book burners hiding on your ballot from the real leaders who will improve the schools our kids attend, the hospitals we get care in, and the roads we take to work: progressivevotersguide.com/washington

their plainly stated goal is to starve forty million people until they get what they want, which is to rip health care away from millions more that this is too monstrous for most news organizations to tell the truth about does not change the facts

I never knew Stevie Wonder participated in Anti-apartheid protests in Washington DC in February 1985. He and others were arrested. His music was in banned in South Africa because he gave a shout-out to Nelson Mandela after winning a Grammy. They don't make artists like this anymore!

Just noticed my ballot mailer includes this handy guide to nearby drop boxes. Drop yours off this weekend, Seattlites!

Officials urge WA voters to use drop boxes for Nov. 4 election “Voters in some Washington counties noticed during the August primary that ballots weren’t always marked the same day carriers picked them up, MyNorthwest reported, citing a King County Elections spokesperson.” #WAelex

Can't overstate how fucked up it is that unraveling what is arguably the greatest achievement in the history of humanity is now a motivating issue of one of the two dominant parties in the U.S.

support whomever you’d like, but what is frustratingly dishonest about this take is that actual issue — the thing critics have identified as the problem — isn’t the decision of the 21-year old to get the tattoo, but of the judgment of the 40-year old who still has it.

He’s speaking for me. We need an answer: “I also believe I speak for many a Washingtonian in wondering why, in light of the disastrous impacts of both the H.R. 1 Reconciliation Budget and the government shutdown, state lawmakers are not currently in a special session to forge a path forward” #waleg

Rep. Scott is right: 900,000 people in our state losing SNAP benefits is definitely an emergency. Image with alt text:
