The big surprises of the night include Jesse Salomon's lopsided victory over an incumbent senator from the same party, and Intercity Transit's resounding victory despite I-1631 losing in Thurston County.
Also on the ballot was a Lewis County measure to expand transit service there, which is losing badly.
