  • Margins are wide enough to declare victory:
  • Position 2: Christie Malchow 59% vs Mark Cross 41%
  • Position 4: Ramiro Valderrama (Incumbent) 82% vs Hank Klein 18%
  • Position 6: Tom Hornish 55% vs Tom Vance (Incumbent) 45%

King County posted the Election Night results at about 8:15pm. Additional results will be posted every week day about 4pm for the next three weeks. The election will be certified November 24.

Historically, the final results are within 1%-2% of Election Night results. Sammamish Comment will update results regularly. The Comment will have an election analysis with tomorrow’s update in the late afternoon.
