Nilu Jenks grew her lead over Julie Kang in the primary for Seattle City Council's district 5 seat, now leading in every precinct east of I-5 and in most precincts to the west. Both are cruising towards the general election.

Gerry Pollet continues to have a majority of votes in the 46th legislative district; Ron Davis gained a few points in the mid-election drop, but Will Dreher is nearly certain to advance to the general election, in second place.

Jamie Pedersen has an enormous lead over his nearest challenger, Hannah Sabio-Howell, for the 43rd district state senate seat; both will advance to the general election.

The U.S. Congressional district WA-09 includes parts of King County and Pierce County. In King County, Kshama Sawant increased her vote share by about 4 percentage points from election night to the mid-election drop, but she still trails Doug Basler by about 5 points for second place.

Seattle's Proposition 1, to renew property taxes to fund libraries, now leads by about a 3:1 margin, with the Broadmoor, Sand Point, and a few other coastal communities in opposition.

Total turnout in this drop is about 34%, up from 19% in the election night data. The county projects 45% turnout for this election; as of August 12, 37% of ballots have been returned and counted. There is one more precinct-level drop still to come.

Lastly, Gabe Rothstein is leading in most precincts, including in most coastal precincts, in the race for Seattle Municipal Court Judge, position 5.

You can see a rough east/west split for Nilu Jenks and Julie Kang, respectively, in the primary for Seattle City Council's district 5 seat. Both are cruising towards the general election.

#seaElex #waElex #seattle #SeaElection #electionViz #dataviz

Gerry Pollet led in precincts up and down the 46th legislative district; his challengers led in few precincts, though this may change after later votes get counted.

Jamie Pedersen looks likely to cruise to reelection in the 43rd district state senate seat; even in the Broadmoor, he received a plurality of early votes.

The U.S. Congressional district #WA09 includes parts of King County and Pierce County. Based solely on King County returns, you can see a smattering of support for Adam Smith's opponents swell south of Seattle, but Smith remains significantly in the lead as of election night.

Seattle's Proposition 1, to renew property taxes to fund libraries, is leading easily in early returns, with the strongest opposition in the gated communities of the Broadmoor and Sand Point.

Before I proceed further, I'll point out that these are based solely on ballot data from election night, with a total turnout of about 19%. The county projects 45% turnout for this election, which may mean that these maps only include less than half of the total vote.

It's election data viz time for the August 2026 primary election, now with a new interactive visualizer! I'd love your feedback on how these new maps look and feel. In the King County Assessor race, Rob Foxcurran did particularly well in Seattle, while the two nearest runners-up polled well in more rural areas.
