This is the final weekend before the Nov. 7 City Council election on Tuesday.

Voting has been underway since Oct. 20. We’re reposting links to endorsements, recommendations, candidate questionnaires and evaluations by various groups.

Sammamish Comment will be working Election Night, posting initial results as soon as possible after King County Elections posts (advertised for about 8:15pm, but it’s not unusual to be late).

The County updates the results daily, except weekends and Thanksgiving. So will The Comment, as long as any results are too close to call. We will post the final results Nov. 28 and follow up with a precinct analysis.

Typically, Election Night results are within a point or two of the final tally. Also typically, the vote spreads are enough to project winners on Election Night.

Sammamish Comment recommends Pam Stuart for election to City Council Position 7.

Note we write “Recommend” and not “Endorse.” “Recommend” falls well short of an “Endorsement,” for reasons that we will detail in this lengthy column.

Karen Moran

Sammamish Comment endorses Karen Moran for Sammamish City Council Position 3.

It was a very close call. Both candidates would serve the Council well with no shortage of intelligence, wit and a strong work ethic. Although Moran showed less energy in her doorbelling than Howe, both candidates landed about the same in funding and endorsements.
