The King County roads-and transit package on the April 22 ballot continued to be headed for defeat despite a slight narrowing of the gap in returns released Tuesday.

New returns showed proposition 1 losing by a 53.97 percent to 46.03 percent margin.

County officials will post new returns each weekday through May 6.
