Per one local consultant, voter turnout in Seattle is looking high in some "moderate" zones of the city so far. Could mean a) moderates are more enthusiastic or b) the whole electorate is enthusiastic and we'll have an even more dramatic leftward swing among late-counted ballots.

I'm pretty sure Sawant gained something like 13 points between election night and when the race was called in 2019. I think the more "moderate" candidates would need at least that gap on election night before anyone starts calling races.

This map show highest turnout so far is in areas with water views aka strongholds for Harrell, Nelson, etc.
Is there a way to see what this looked like in 2019 or 2017 at the same point in the process? I've had a lot of trouble finding that info anywhere.

this is why i cannot believe we do odd year elections when turnout drops from 80% to 50%.
