Spawning salmon end their journeys in their natal streams. Ballots in King County end their journeys back at Election Headquarters where the Elections team verifies each signature and opens every ballot by hand!

Want to track your ballot’s journey? Sign up for ballot alerts at kce.wiki/BallotAlert
On a watery blue background, the words "Lifecycle of a salmon" appear in white, with the word "salmon" crossed out. Beside it is the word "ballot." Below those words is the word "spawner" in navy blue. There are drawings of large red and pink spawner salmon flowing with red King County ballots over a line drawing of King County Elections Headquarters.

A fully grown salmon, now an adult, begins its journey back to its place of origin - very much like your voted ballot once it’s in a drop box.
On a watery blue background, there are white words that say "Lifecycle of a salmon" but the word salmon is crossed out and beside it is the word ballot. In navy blue, the word "adult" appears below the white title words. Drawings of around six gray-blue adult salmon swim around a drawing of a blue and white King County Elections drop box. One of the salmon delivers a red ballot to the drop box using his mouth.

On a watery blue background are the words Lifecycle of a salmon, but the word salmon is crossed out and the word ballot appears beside it. There is a cartoon drawing of three smiling people around a table with their voter's pamphlets and ballots. Around 8 silvery smolt salmon swim around them.

Like salmon in their fry stage, ballots sitting in a pile of mail at your place are pure possibility.

Where will the fry end up, and which choices will you make to make your voice heard?
On a watery blue background, there's a title in white that says "Lifecycle of a salmon," but the word "salmon" is crossed out, and beside it is the word ballot. Below that title, the word "Fry" is in navy blue. There are drawings of about a dozen gray salmon in their fry stage, swimming around a stack of colorful mail. The mail includes a postcard of mountains with a sunset and the word "adventure" on top, as well as a blue King County ballot.

On a watery blue background, alevin salmon and blue King County, WA ballots flow in a stream beneath the title "Lifecycle of a salmon" but the word salmon has been crossed out and beside it is the word "ballot." Beneath that title is the word "Alevin" in navy blue.

Kermit the Frog looks forlornly out the window at the rain. The text "Waiting for my ballot in the mail." is in a header above him.
