Fwiw, this race was one of the only times in my life I've done a write-in. I wasn't going to vote for an ideological chameleon with next to no trial experience to be city attorney, even if it meant keeping Thomas-Kennedy out of office. And while I think Thomas-Kennedy's craziness is often (but not always) over-exaggerated, I don't want someone who is using their elected position just to build up far-left activist cred, which was clearly what she was angling to do. And by the current count, at least 1,000 other people made the same choice - more than double the number that did so in the mayoral election.

Broadmoor was 94.46% Davison, 98.12% Harrell.

If Harrell wants to raise some extra funds for the city, he should put on a long-running reality show where he turns Broadmoor into a Ashgabat-style ego enclave of glory using his apparent massive personality cult there. I'd watch.

Also hopefully this map puts to bed the argument that "minorities are actually more supportive of law-and-order/pro-police candidates than white liberals" and its variants.

Sister lives in South Seattle not far from MLK and Rainier, but even just briefly eyeballing the precinct with overlaps, looks like the most heavily Asian-American precincts voted for NTK, even with the population tending largest Vietnamese-American with a decent Chinese-American component.

This is just eyeballing it, but it looks like Davison won The ID/Chinatown while NTK won the bordering precincts in Little Saigon. That'd be really interesting if true, because it would kind of controvert the idea that Asian communities that have been in the US for a while tend to vote to the left of more recent groups that immigrated to escape communism. (Although maybe there are enough more recent immigrants from China in The ID that might make this comparison moot? IDK.) This might be a kind of one-off because the ID was particularly hard-hit during the protests last year, but I feel like Little Saigon was too.
