From the first results, the Cedar River library was the clear choice of Renton’s voters for the location of the downtown library.

The percentage has changed little since Aug. 7. As of Wednesday, the last tally available before the Renton Reporter’s print deadline, the Cedar River library location was favored 76 percent to 23 percent for a new library just west of the Piazza.

The King County Elections Division will release the final vote tally on Tuesday.

Voters countywide approved a property tax increase to build a new Children and Family Justice Center in Seattle.

Besides the important library measure in Renton, there are several legislative races in Renton. The top-two vote-getters, regardless of party affiliation, will advance to the general  election in November. Half the state Senate seats and all of the state House of Representative seats are up for election.
