7:59 PM: Here’s where we’ll track tonight’s other races – for example, 34th District State House Position 1, with incumbent Democratic Rep. Eileen Cody challenged by “reluctantly Republican” Ray Carter (those results will be here) – and the city/county/state ballot measures, just in case you are browsing here inbetween visits to regional/national sites (like The Seattle Times [WSB partner], with plenty of home-page election coverage). More to come!

8:15 PM: Early results show Sen. Patty Murray (D) behind Dino Rossi (R). But King County’s first batch of returns hasn’t posted yet.

8:27 PM: With the King County numbers now in, Murray is leading Rossi 52 percent to 48 percent, according to the Secretary of State’s office. In the 34th District State House 1 race, it’s Cody over Carter, 78 percent to 21 percent. The tallies on the Times home page show the income tax and liquor initiatives all losing, the candy-tax-repeal initiative winning. Per the King County site, the Seattle Schools levy is passing in a big way, 64 percent “yes.”

9:01 PM: Checked on King County Prop 1, the sales-tax increase for public safety. Losing big, with 56 percent “no.”

10:05 PM: You can check all the statewide ballot measures’ results by going here. The bail-denial measure is way ahead, with 85% yes. Referendum 52, which sought to validate a state bill to spend money to retrofit schools for energy efficiency (among other things), is losing. Both privatizing-liquor-sales measures are behind, though 1105 is losing bigger than 1100. And as for everything else – definitely an anti-tax mood.
