THIS IS IT: Hours left to vote on North Highline South Annexation
That’s the ballot dropoff box outside White Center Library. If you don’t want to vote until the absolute last moment, that’s where to take it – till 8 pm (or another dropbox – here’s the full list). Then, the vote-counting begins. According to the Monday night update from King County Elections, 23.35% of the ballots have been received – that’s 1,492 of the 6,390 ballots issued in the proposed annexation area. Be heard – get yours in. On ballots in this area, the King County Executive race is huge too – county government is in a financial crisis among other challenges. Since it’s an all-mail election, we won’t get final results tonight, but vote totals will go public starting shortly after 8 pm, so check back here for results.

Today is a huge day for the citizens of North Highline. You have the rare opportunity to be on the ground floor of becoming part of a great city. Many citizens of North Highline have immigrated here from other countries and now have the right to participate in one of the greatest democracies in the world. I was lucky enough to be in Turkey this year and Serbia last year and the citizens there can only dream about what we take for granted. If you have not mailed in your ballot yet, do it now and get it to a drop off station before 8 pm or get it postmarked today.
One vote can make a differance. There are a few good races on the ballot but the most important one for North Highline is to mark that YES FOR ANNEXATION.
