The big day is finally upon us! Today is Tuesday, November 3rd… Election Day, also known as the last day you can do your civic duty and vote. Tonight we’ll begin to have some idea of who will be governing cities, ports, schools, and counties across Washington State for the next few years (not to mention special districts).
Regardless of where you live in Washington, there are two statewide initiatives to vote on, plus five “advisory votes” that are better referred to as Tim Eyman’s push polls. Chances are, you probably have a number of local races on your ballot too.
Turnout in Washington State stood at 22% earlier today.

Tonight, we will be bringing you live results and and analysis through
Pacific NW Portal, which celebrated its ten year anniversary last January.
At election time, the Portal offers a carefully curated results matrix that shows all the important contests and measures together. You don't need to click fifty times to get results for different county, city, port, and school board races because we've put all the hot races on one page into a compact grid.
To make it easier to scan results and to prevent the grid from getting too text-heavy, we show an image of each candidate or ballot measure campaign.
If you've never looked at election results this way before, you'll be pleased at how much you can see in one view!
We will begin our live elections coverage later on today, once the evening rolls around. Let us know if there are any races you're interested in, or if you have an election related question you'd like NPI to try and answer.
