Nov. 8 was an election night to be remembered by all. The unexpected victory in the presidential campaign by Republican Donald J. Trump over Democrat Hillary Clinton is destined to become the stuff of electoral legend.
The local elections may be a small flicker compared to the presidential race, but there are a few results to note in the returns.
In the 11th Legislative District Sen. Bob Hasegawa and Rep. Zack Hudgins have been return to office by voters according to the first results from King County Elections.
The Sound Transit proposition was passing according to the numbers posted.
Gov. Jay Inslee cruised to victory as did U.S. Sen. Patty Murray.
