Seattle Schools This Week
Monday, November 3rd Growth Boundary Meeting from 6:30-7:30 pm at Alki Elementary Has anyone attended one of these? I wanted to get to the one at Northgate last week but didn't. Tuesday, November 4th Election Day . This may be the day when we learn the fate of 1A/1B and 1351. I say "may" because as we have all seen from previous elections, our "postmarked by election day" voting means some races don't get determined on election day. I have had a very hard time reading the tea leaves on 1A/1B - it is a source of much confusion to voters. On the one hand, voters do tend to vote no to items they don't understand. On the other hand, we are in Seattle where voters love kids and education. I perceive that 1B may "win" because of the King County Labor Council endorsement. Unions tend to be good at getting out the vote but we do have the awkward sight of unions against unions for 1A/1B. That should tell you something about winners ...
