New York City elected a Muslim Communist mayor. In Seattle, perhaps the only office that did NOT go farther left was the mayor, Bruce Harrell, who as of now has a lead over Socialist Katie Wilson. However, we need to take into account the propensity for large-scale cheating in our all-mail-voting state, by the DemocRat rulers. Since the 1980s, DemocRats have won the vast majority of public offices, and more and more seem to get elected every year, as they see the chance for absolute power over their voters.

This article on the KOMO Web site discusses the election results, which always seem to trickle in over a week, never on election night (obvious sign of DemocRat cheating, not stopping until they receive their desired result). I am reproducing the article in its entirety here. The title is Seattle election may herald a progressive shift as more votes are tallied.

SEATTLE — Voters in Seattle may have pushed the political pendulum in this week’s election, and while votes have yet to be finalized, a slate of progressive candidates are positioned to win.

Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell captured 53% of the vote compared to challenger Katie Wilson’s 46% but that lead may be far from secure. Progressive candidates often gain ground in later ballot counts in Seattle, which would favor Wilson.

Dionne Foster, who previously led a nonprofit, leads with a commanding 57.9% of the vote over Seattle City Council President Sara Nelson, a centrist incumbent who received 41.7% in early results.

Erika Evans, a former assistant U.S. attorney, has 25% more ballots in her favor than Seattle City Attorney Ann Davison.

Seattle City Councilmember Alexis Mercedes Rinck, another progressive, also appears to be headed toward re-election. Eddie Lin holds a strong lead in District 2.

The results could show that voters are looking for something more than what they’ve gotten from city leadership these past four years. Business-friendly moderates have held sway on the city council during that time, but a transition may be in the works.

With three progressives now likely in the mix, it’s unclear how the council may lean after four years of a centrist majority that prioritized law and order.

Wilson appealed to many voters on her calls to make the city more affordable and demanded more progress on homelessness. She called for higher taxes on corporations and a collaborative approach to policy-making.

Harrell has the backing of many in the business community. He highlighted his achievements rebuilding the police force, reducing crime, revitalizing downtown, and securing a progressive restructuring of the city’s business taxes.

At the same time, Harrell tried to portray Wilson as inexperienced and ill-equipped to lead the city.

Washington’s mail-in ballot system means votes will continue to be tallied in the coming days. The next batch of results could be posted around 4 p.m. on Wednesday.

So, you can see that there is very little chance that Seattle will become a better place to live anytime soon. Since no one that is not Left, far Left, or Communist ever runs for office in Seattle, their fate seems to be sealed. Seattle is already a cesspool of crime, homelessness, drug addiction, and extremely high (and going higher) cost of living, and the results of the latest election don’t bode well for its future prosperity. The huge number of tech-company layoffs in the past week (from Amazon, Microsoft, Google, Meta, and more) bode ill for the real estate market, as laid-off employees who are very well-paid leave the area for greener pastures. Lower real estate values mean lower property tax revenue, and the normal government response is to raise taxes on those who remain. The situation in Western Washington looks grim.

Buckle up, Seattle, the rougher ride is not even started yet.
