Tonight the polls close at 8 pm Pacific time for Seattle’s mayoral and city council races. In this part of the country we mail in or drop off our ballots, thus a large chunk of the results should be available at, or around, 8:30 pm Pacific time, according to King County elections. Andre Roberge, Adair Schmidt, and Aaron Bowersock will be reporting and providing commentary on the elections. We’ll be keeping an eye on the results as they come in and Andre and Aaron are heading to Nikkita Oliver’s watch party at Washington Hall.

Our live coverage will start at 8:30 pm ET/ 5:30 pm PT.
