It looks like the election was good for Democrats. But Seattle will get more conservative. At least the housing levy passed easily.

It is election night! Priority one is getting that ballot to a drop box. And priority two is stopping by the Seattle Chapter of Drinking Liberally for some politics and good cheer over a drink.

The Seattle Chapter of Drinking Liberally meets every Tuesday at the Roanoke Park Place Tavern (2409 10th Ave E, Seattle) starting at 8pm. You’ll find us on the back patio.

Chapters of Living Liberally are all over the place…if you can’t make it to the Seattle chapter, stop by another chapter near you.

Tomorrow is the last day to get your ballot postmarked or dropped off. City, county and school board elections are super important. The guy with the Blue Lives Matter bumper sticker you passed last night? He’s voted. The lady who came to school board meetings to yell about trans kids? She voted the day she got her ballot. But their vote counts the same as yours, so let’s elect the best people.

Anyway, please wash your hands right now and get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible.

Having trouble figuring out who to vote for? Here are some resources.

– At Publocola they interviewed the City Council candidates.

– So did the Hacks and Wonks podcast.

– But maybe you want to know about other elections? The Stranger has you covered with their endorsements.

– Fuse has a good voter guide no matter where in the state you live.

– This is a bit old, but oof Mayor Harrell’s budget.

– There was a time in my life that I biked around East Marginal Way a lot. Not sure if I had ever noticed those tracks in use.

– Responsible gun ownership from the Washington state Republicans.

– Impotrant to know this time of the year who is a Weird Barbie and who is just a Seattle woman.

– You. Yeah you. Wash your goddam hands. And then make yourself an appointment to get vaccinated or boosted. And maybe throw in a flu shot as long as you’re there.

Everyone, please look for your ballot. It should be in the mail. Soon you’ll start to see social media pieces where someone has already voted when you don’t even have your ballot yet. So you start to freak out. What if I never vote again, you think to yourself. But then you get it, and remember to vote by November 7.

Anyway, please wash your hands right now and get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible.
