Five days left to vote. 84 percent in Seattle haven’t done it yet.

We’ll be reminding you daily from here on out – Tuesday (November 4) is Election Day, and King County Elections drop boxes close at exactly 8 pm that night. Checking the ballot-return statistics, just under 16 percent of Seattle voters’ ballots have come in so far, whether by drop box or USPS mail (and as noted here yesterday, if you plan to do the latter, don’t wait any longer). Some big local decisions are on the ballot, including mayor, two citywide councilmembers, city attorney, school-board members (not our district but all seats are up for citywide votes in the general election), county executive, three tax measures, and more.

It’s quite sad. We have the right and responsibility to vote, yet so few do and then everyone complains about the state of things. Get out and VOTE!!!!

As usual, a small minority of voters will be choosing the people and policies we all live by. Great for us in that group! It’s like we actually get more votes because so few ballots are cast.

I guess it will be the same results as the primary then. We will be going back to RVs and bonehead policies with Katie Wilson and her merry band of ex-council members like Herbold on her staff.
