Tim Eyman's I-976 passing; Initiative 1000 failing in early returns
The right wing is celebrating the early numbers on this year's two statewide initiaives, but there are a lot of ballots that haven't been counted yet. Initiative 1000 is only narrowly failing. I-976 is passing more comfortably thanks to large margins in Pierce and Snohomish counties. In King County, civil rights icon Larry Gossett lost his seat, while feminist trailblazer Jeanne Kohl-Welles decisively held onto hers. At the local level, levies to fund transportation improvements, school operations, and better parks were passing in the majority of jurisdictions surveyed by NPI.
What's at stake in this election: Voters in Washington will decide the fate of three statewide ballot measures (Initiative 976, Initiative 1000, Senate Joint Resolution 8200) and two legislative positions being contested in special elections, along with thousands of offices at the local level. 2019 is truly a local election year: Most home rule counties that operate under their own charters (like King, Snohomish, Clark, and Whatcom) will be filling positions, along with most cities, school districts, and ports.
