If you are tired of having your mailbox stuffed with slick mailers full of hyperbole, stock photo models designed to look like Seattleites, finger-pointing about how their opponent is going negative, as well as the onslaught of hate being heaped on bike, pedestrian, and transit infrastructure through the largesse of a major Eyman funder, REJOICE! For, today is Election Today, and the mudslinging ends tonight at 8 pm!
There will be Liveblogging here later tonight. [EDIT 1:57PM: and possibly live podcasting if we can figure it out – Frank]
But first, you must affirmatively answer the question, “Have you voted?” If you haven’t, the long list of ways to cast your ballot is listed here, along with the cheat sheet on the STB Editorial Board’s endorsements.
Get your ballot post-marked by the time shown at your local post office, or get it to one of the places accepting ballots before 8 p.m. Don’t have your ballot? Get to Union Station, Bellevue City Hall, or the Election Headquarters in Renton, and get in line to vote before 8 p.m.
Don’t have your ballot and don’t have time to get to one of the booth sites? PRINT OUT YOUR BALLOT AT HOME.
If you don’t have your ballot and can’t make it to Union Station, Bellevue City Hall, or Renton today, you can also print off your ballot online and mail it in/drop it off today:

If you drop a ballot in the mail today, it might not get postmarked until tomorrow and it wouldn’t be counted. It’s better to use one of the drop boxes or vans if you are returning a ballot today.
Bellevue City Hall is located one block east of the Bellevue Transit Center. The elections HQ in Renton is poorly served by transit (the F is the closest transit line, but it’s still a hike to the HQ).
I just might have to travel to Kent. I put my ballot in the box on Saturday and it still has not been picked up.
Thanks, Drew! Info has been added to post.
Great! Thanks!
PLEASE VOTE FOR COMMUNITY TRANSIT PROP 1.
Gawd, you people seem to forget mentioning that one.

Thanks bro! Much appreciate.
Thanks for the reminder. Will shortly walk my ballot to nearest drop-box a few blocks away. I used to enjoy voting in person. Even more, I valued my time as a poll worker. I was doing my duty to my neighbors, and to my country..
In addition to my own satisfaction, I also firmly believed that people what people said, and how they acted, gave our government some vital insights into what people message the electorate was sending along with its ballots.
Of course their should still be drop-boxes, and mail-in ballots. But if it came to that, I’d pay Tim Eyman for an initiative to bring real actual voting back. If he’s busy, I’m looking for my first move.

You have the option to vote the old-fashioned way (well, on a touch screen) at Union Station, Bellevue City Hall, or the Rention election HQ. Nobody is being forced to fill in their ballot at home.
Thanks, Brent. But now that my hometown of Ballard has been destroyed in a speculation-strike, the drop box at Thurston County Courthouse counts as voting in a free State.
But wish even an ill-regulated militia could bring back being a poll Judge in the VFW hall in Ballard. Also Ballard.

Mark,
You would surly appreciate that SDOT decided to close southbound 22nd street at the very location of the Ballard drop box on election day. This is the first day of the closure linked to the construction site across the street and I couldn’t imagine worse timing. You would think SDOT would have delayed it by one day to avoid exacerbating what is typically the worst traffic of the year on that block.
Maybe Move Seattle will allow SDOT to actually hire someone who can coordinate street closures for private construction projects a bit better!
Well, East, it’s a comfort to know there’s a drop-box there. Except that SDOT is not a ‘Disinterested’ party to this election.
Satellite pics, well really drones we got at a shopping mall camera store, show SDOT director Scott Kubly sitting conspiratorially at Ballard Coffee Works right near the scene of the violation with Belarussian tyrant Alexandr Lukashenko, General Sisi from Egypt, and Karl Rove.
City officials rarely actually “clink” espresso demitasse cups. So better get some Election Monitors in here on the next Icelandair flight!
