Constantine and Nickels didn’t get the plurality of West Seattle votes? That seems odd.

Those are the countywide percentages – not West Seattle votes – I just flagged how West Seattle resident candidates did in the overall final vote count. Have added a few words in hopes of making that clearer. The only geographic breakouts on the county website’s main section is overall turnout.

Linking this post to another post… One way Dow and our mayoral nominees can differentiate themselves – deal with the existing/pending commercial vacancy crisis across the county. Alaska/Fauntleroy corridor is a perfect example.

9:44 PM UPDATE: Foss’s appeal document added, after coverage of 75 speakers at Port Commission meeting, followed by commissioners passing both motions – as Shell drillship Noble Discoverer arrived in Everett)
12:58 PM: Just as Seattle port commissioners are about to start their meeting on the controversial Terminal 5 lease to Foss/Shell, we received that photo of one of the Shell offshore-drilling rigs that is expected to wind up here for a while: The
Noble Discoverer, which, as we reported earlier, entered Washington waters early today.
Jason Mihok photographed the ND (and Foss tugs) as they passed Port Townsend – he was on board the Victoria Clipper. Meantime, we’re at Pier 69 (steps from the Clipper’s HQ, in fact), where the commission chambers are overflowing – we in fact are sitting on the floor in the back of the room. We’ll be chronicling the meeting as it unfolds.
