Season of change Williamson, Cook trail in North Bend votes; Peterson defends seat in Snoqualmie Nearly 2 million votes have been counted in the state as of Tuesday afternoon and more than 460,000 in King County since election day, Nov. 3. A few races remain close, but many candidates have conceded their races. Overall, challengers are leading incumbents

He’s received 946 votes so far, plus 17 write-ins. The only other city incumbent with a distinct lead is Mayor Ken Hearing, with 783 votes. He was opposed by write-in candidate Mary Miller, who likely accounted for most of the 456 write-in votes in the mayoral race.

When the rain and wind arrived at Snoqualmie Elementary School Saturday, a few people and dogs huddled under blankets. Most, though, were too busy playing with their dogs, eating, shopping the bake sale, or socializing with other dogs and their owners, to really notice the Northwest winter weather. Betsy Carroll and Sprout were playing catch with a high-bouncing tennis ball when Carroll, a Key Club member, was reminded it was time to start packing up from the day’s events. Her club, led by advisor Joe Dockery, had by then completed their first-ever Bark for Life event, a fundraiser for their team in the July 2016 Relay for Life event in North Bend. SEE BARK, 2
