Thanks to RLV for sending that pic of the Alki Elementary PTA Election Day bake sale outside Alki Community Center – we haven’t made it over there just yet. (There’s another Alki pic on the county blog.) Seems voting can rustle up quite an appetite; Morgan Junction Starbucks told us they’d had a run on pastries to go with the free drip coffee. We’ll add Fauntleroy Church (WSB sponsor) soup lunch/bake sale pix here after we’re back from there. (Any other Election Day treats to share?) Side note: If you want to see what’s up in other Puget Sound ‘hoods, here are some links from some of our fellow neighborhood-news sites: Ballard voting lines, via MyBallard.com; Capitol Hill notes from CapitolHillSeattle.com; Central District voting lines via CentralDistrictNews.com; Tacoma open thread at Exit133.com. Also interesting to check: The Twitter stream of King County Elections – it’s NOT official, it’s little bits and blurbs from various polling places – follow kcvotes on Twitter or just browse it on the Web at twitter.com/kcvotes.

ADDED 1:57 PM: Here are those promised pix from Fauntleroy Church — first, the bake sale (you can’t have the pumpkin bread at lower right, we bought it, yum):

Here’s the crew that was serving soup during the lunch hour:

Some of the crafts on sale during the bazaar (even if you don’t vote at Fauntleroy, it’s worth a stop, there’s a LOT of stuff on sale):

And pardon us for getting misty all day long, because we just can’t believe we’ll never see signs like this again:

Next stop – We’re going back to our polling place, to REALLY get misty-eyed as we do the in-person voting thing one last time (we were there earlier but just to get pix/video of the first voters in line), plus we’re heading over to High Point – though we’ve just gotten some advance pix (thanks! keep sending yours, all day and all night, we’ll be frequently updating till at least oh 2 am or so, and we’ll add results info/links once the polls start closing) …
