Seattle election results are still rolling in, and they just keep getting better. In yesterday’s 4:30 p.m. ballot drop, everyone who could help pull our city out of this logjam was moving on up. With 23 percent of the vote counted, City Attorney candidate Erika Evans is now a full 17 points ahead of republican City Attorney Ann Davison, City Council candidate Dionne Foster has an almost 18-point lead on Council President Sara Nelson, and mayoral candidate Katie Wilson is 4.5 points ahead of Mayor Bruce Harrell. We’ve seen some incredible comebacks in our days in local politics, but Davison and Nelson look like they’re cooked. And Harrell? Parboiled, at least.

Outstanding primary results so far. Really bummed Jamie Fackler seems to not be getting through but I get it. White man winning in the south end seems like a stretch. But I went to a few debates and his policies seemed by far the best and most progressive. Eddie Lin is fine mostly (though he voted against the social housing initiative earlier which is super sus) and I'm sure he'll be a fine council person
