Evan Smith: Current Ballot Count; next count is Tuesday

By Evan Smith
ShorelineAreaNews Politics Writer


When I reported Friday on the King County Library levy’s widening approval rate, I said that the next vote would be posted Monday. In fact, the next count will be released at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday. The elections office is closed Monday for President's Day.

The Shoreline School District bond issue has continued to widen its margin above the required 60 percent approval rate. The maintenance-and-operations levy and the technology levy both continue their overwhelming approval margins.

Voter turnout through Friday in Shoreline and Lake Forest Park was 42 percent, compared to 37 percent throughout the County Library District.
