In bad news, there is a new poll out showing rossi up 9 points in the 8th district. Could be an outlier or could be the 8th still being its shitty old self.

The east side is a h e l l z o n e
Wait are we using eastside here to mean east of 405 or east of I 5...
I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.

Yeah, Rossi is effectively a lock. He'll win by virtue of simply dodging answers when asked hard questions and planting one hojillion yard signs at every public easement.

crossposting from the federal thread since we're talking about it both places:
I'm not in the 8th - not even adjacent to it - but we get all the cable commercials for it anyway. Anecdotally, there's been a heavy push in pro-Rossi advertising since October started. In September, the ads were nearly all from Democratic PACs, now it's something like 60-40 in favor of the GOP
Was looking at the district maps last night and the 8th has a lot more central WA than I remembered. It stretches all the way to Ellensburg and Wenatchee, although the highest population centers in the district appear to be Auburn and Kent.
Eastside is east of the lake, not any of the roads.
So, Kirkland/Bellevue/Redmond/Newcastle
Probably Sammamish and Issaquah
Potentially Bothell and Woodinville
life's a game that you're bound to lose / like using a hammer to pound in screws
fuck up once and you break your thumb / if you're happy at all then you're god damn dumb
that's right we're on a fucked up cruise / God is dead but at least we have booze
bad things happen, no one knows why / the sun burns out and everyone dies
Auburn and Kent are conservative smaller towns. They live and die by business rental spaces. That's Rossi territory for sure.
I won't dispute the economy, but Kent and Auburn aren't that small. Kent's the sixth-largest city in the state by population. Nearly the size of Bellevue and significantly bigger than Everett, Renton or any of the other Seattle metro suburbs besides Tacoma. Must be a square mileage thing.
Oh also the Seattle Times today was disgusting, running two things in support of State Senator Fain including their continued endorsement of him while also running an editorial about "supporting women" I wish there was another in state paper to support.

The P-I was always the better of the two local papers, IMO, and I still miss it. The Stranger has recently cut back to biweekly and I fear the writing is on the wall there, too.

Yeah I had a pi subscription before the times. And like the times has good coverage on local stories, its just their opinion section is so right wing and obnxious as fuck. Like for every time they have one lefty national columnist we get a bunch of david brooks and ross douhat.

The Times editorial board has always been the voice of the (wealthier) suburbs in that they try to appear centrist but always wind up siding with the money. P-I always felt like it was pitched more toward the city itself, which I appreciated.
yep, all ballots are postage-paid this time around. don't even need to go drop it off at a library or whatever, just toss it in your mailbox
with a side of king county did it first then the state maneuvered to fuck over the county by funding ballot postage for every county except king county, because WA politics

And that probably explains why I'm seeing more of the ballot boxes spread around King county...

I haven't worried about it as much before, figuring it will get here when it gets here, but if I don't vote and Schrier loses, I'm going to be really upset with myself.

Man, I was all excited because dinosaurs, and then I realized what you were actually implying there.
"I will write your name in the ruin of them. I will paint you across history in the color of their blood."
Is there really only one voting center in all of Kent? That seems a little ridiculous.
Didn't they remove having to pay for postage on ballots now? So you can drop them in the mail anywhere.
Right, I just haven't received my mail in yet, so I was looking at alternatives.
Ballots are getting mailed out today. It literally says as much on the cover of the voting pamphlet. So I wouldn't worry unless it doesn't show up by like, Tuesday.

Well, I voted, so maybe if Schrier wins I'll petition Tube to change my name to Dinofucker or something.

I don't know if they're in any dire financial straits, but I will say that the stranger has spent the last 5-7 years chasing off all their best talent
pretty much only Mudede is left, the rest are all either "fine, barely" (rich smith) or actively a huge piece of shit like katie herzog, about whom the less said the better

the times' actual reportage is pretty good, and they have one of the most underappreciated food writers alive right now (Bethany Jean Clement! so great!), but I can't in good conscience give money to a paper that leverages its branding and authority to elect shitheads like Rossi and torpedo good policy
and I do not feel the need to help keep the lights on at the house of Blethen

For me I have a habit of reading the paper on my lunch, so I had the PI in the past and then when they went under sadly had to go to the times. I mean I could get the everett herald I guess, but ewww everett.

The Times has poached quite a few good writers from other publications in Seattle over the years, so they get credit from me for doing actual footwork journalism. Now if they would just eject their opinion and editorial section into outer space, I'd pay money for their material again.

prior to annexing Panther Lake a few years ago (adding ~24k residents), it was a comparably populated suburb to Everett or Renton
