If the recall wins, the person being appointed by the City Council is a bit of a complete unknown, but it's probably not going to be Dave Reichert.
Also, guess we'll see if the map changes any once it becomes official but that is a very polarized map in regards to what won where

Sawant will pull it out by the skin of her teeth I bet.

Either way she wins. While she may lose her seat: it will be known that million(s) were spent to oust 1 city coincilwoman

As a previous resident of this district, I can confirm it's about what I expected.

if anybody is curious as to how to spend thousands of dollars in a race like this, here's some of the larger expenditures from "Recall Sawant" in a period where they spent $106k over 2 weeks
$11k to the USPS for postage
$36k to Strategies 360 for Direct Mail Printing
$21k to a law firm for legal consulting
A certain amount of the spending essentially involves paying friendly groups, which seems smarter if you win the election.
Congrats to the entities that made some money off of this whole thing though.
