Good for us!

An atta-boy for King County voters, who are approving Prop. 1, the Veterans and Human Services Levy, two to one in early returns. It was the only actual decision on my primary ballot, since none of our municipal races drew more than two candidates, which moves them directly to the general. There was some sorting out of races in surrounding cities, and the folks down in Seattle seem to have finally decided to stop fighting and dig their damn tunnel.

The levy vote was a big deal, though, and the margin so far is gratifying. Turns out lots of folks hereabouts are willing to chip in a little to help their neighbors if you give 'em a chance. That's good news.

If you're hereabouts...

...and you're waiting for election returns from Wisconsin, you can fill some of the time filling out and returning that primary ballot your county sent you, or bugging your friends and relations to follow the good example you've already set.

I know it's not very exciting in some jurisdictions - here in Shoreline we've got an uncontested judicial candidate and a levy renewal. That levy renewal, though, which will continue the good work the Veterans and Human Services Levy has been doing not only for vets but in helping to maintain the never more threatened, never more needed human services infrastructure in King County communities.

It's not very exciting, but lives will benefit from your support.
