Doc Brown and Mayor Wilson were both characters in “Back to the Future 2”.

They are also the names of Seattle’s two socialist Mayors.

What does history say about how Seattle's new Mayor-elect Wilson will lead?

It does appear the election math strongly favors Katie Wilson.

She’s up 1346.

There are 1400 Seattle ballots left to count.
There are 1540 outstanding signature challenges.

The question is whether number stays below 2000 to trigger recount.

I sat down with Girmay Zahilay today for his first interview as King County Executive-Elect.

This election arguably will also position the 38-year-old Zahilay, along with WA AG Nick Brown, as the "candidates in waiting" for any open congressional seat.
