On Tuesday the King County Council voted 6-3 to pass a bunch of new protections for the 25,000 renters who live in the county s unincorporated areas, which include neighborhoods such as Skyway, parts of White Center, Vashon Island, East Renton, and other townships and census designated places out east.
As I wrote yesterday, Republicans and Rod Dembowski, one of the six liberal members of the technically nonpartisan body, made noises suggesting they might significantly water down the legislation, which was meant to shore up good but watered down protections that state lawmakers passed earlier this year, but at the end of the day they really only made a few tweaks.

According to King County Elections, this year beats the record set in 2017, when 634 candidates filed to run. Officials said close to 95 percent of this year s candidates filed online, rather than in person. Our democracy works best when all voices are heard and when our voters have options, said Julie Wise, director of King County Elections. It s fantastic to see so many people stepping up to the plate for their community and being willing to serve in this unique and challenging way.
