Today: VOTE! (And here’s what else is up in West Seattle)

The ballot dropoff box outside White Center Library (11220 16th SW; map) and its counterpart at North Delridge Neighborhood Service Center (5405 Delridge; map) are the two closest places to take your ballot up until 8 pm tonight (or get it in the mail, but be sure it’s postmarked today). County Council District 8, which includes West Seattle, is still the district with the highest percentage of returned ballots – but 80 percent are STILL out there, so that’s a whole lot of voting yet to happen. We’ll bring you election results once the vote-counting begins.

Also today/tonight:

HIGH POINT MARKET GARDEN: 4:30-7 pm, 32nd/Juneau (map), see what’s fresh from the mini-farm right by the stand.

END-OF-SUMMER CELEBRATION AND FAMILY GAME NIGHT: Delridge Library is throwing a party because readers of all ages “nearly tripled the Delridge Branch summer reading goal of 2,350 books!” Drop in any time between 6 and 8 pm (5423 Delridge; map).

“INTRO TO (BIKE) COMMUTING”: That’s the latest Bike Smart Seattle presentation in West Seattle, 6:30 tonight at Southwest Community Center (2801 SW Thistle; map).

    If I drop mine in the outgoing mail today – will it get postmarked in time? Nothing like waiting til the last minute…

    Was this vote only for select individuals? As an active registered voter, I feel left out. :(

    Bsmomma, if you didn’t get a ballot, you should call King County Elections. You would be able to vote at one of their sites today before 8 pm. I am not sure if Renton is the only place to do that or if there is somewhere downtown, but give them a call …

    Meantime, Jen, from Barnaby at King County Elections Media Hotline: If it is picked up by a postal employee today, it WILL be postmarked today.

Sorry, comment time is over.
