With a clap of thunder, the polls closed at 8 p.m. on Tuesday in Seattle, marking the end of seemingly sleepy races. Some of the results, however, were a jolt.
Bruce Harrell, the former Seattle city council member, leads a pack of 15 candidates seeking to replace Mayor Jenny Durkan. Durkan is not running for reelection. Harrell received 38% of the vote counted as of Tuesday night. Lorena Gonzalez, current council president, had 29% of the vote.
