Heads up: Gregoire leading narrowly, King County (Seattle) only 14% reporting

Gregoire seems to be poised for reelection. I'm not a huge fan of her but her opponent Rossi is a scumbag.

1. Rossi lost narrowly in 2004 (deservedly)

but tried everything he could to drag it out, long past even his supporters had become tired of it.

The one saving grace here is that Seattle and its suburbs were the only part of the state that didn't have early voting (though not quite sure why) which means that their vote will come online later in the evening. What you're seeing now is the east side of the state (very red) voting, so the fact that she's ahead even with that is a good sign.
