Mayoral Race Uncertain; Most Others Clear
by Martin H. Duke from Seattle Transit Blog on (#2Y5MB)
After the first ballot results drop, it is unclear which two candidates will face off in a variety of races. For the races in which we endorsed (STB Favorites in bold):
Seattle Mayor
| Jenny Durkan | 27,579 | 31.60% |
| Cary Moon | 13,583 | 15.56% |
| Nikkita Oliver | 12,126 | 13.90% |
| Jessyn Farrell | 10,308 | 11.81% |
| Bob Hasegawa | 7,526 | 8.62% |
| Mike McGinn | 6,247 | 7.16% |
Durkan is in. It's too early to rule out Oliver or Farrell to overtake Moon. For all other races, our preferred candidate is in excellent position for the general.
