After the strong progressive results in the Nov ‘24 election in Seattle, some politicos and media questioned whether it was an outlier caused by high presidential election year turnout.
Tonight’s result reinforces that Seattle voters prefer progressive policies.

Claudia Balducci has conceded to Girmay Zahilay in the King County Executive race. #waelex

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
