Lunch hour reports from Seattle indicated brisk business at official ballot drop boxes. 
Even the Approve71 webmaster Joshco finally voted (Pic)! Good thing too, since as of this morning only about 20% of ballots had been received back by the county elections division. Voter turnout in King County is thought to be key to passage of Referendum 71. To be counted, ballots must be deposited in an official drop box by 8 pm tonight or postmarked today.
WARNING: dropping your ballot in a mailbox today is not the same thing as having it postmarked today! Be sure to read the pick-up times/days on the mail box. Better yet, take it inside the p. o. and ask to have it postmarked then and there.
A shout out to Kamal & Ghada Aboul Hosn, proprietors of Pizza Brava, 4222 University Way N.E. in Seattle for prominently displaying an Approve 71 poster! Pizza Brava is just down the street from the ballot drop box pictured above. If you’re in the neighborhood, stop by for a pizza slice or a tasty Mediterranean sandwich. Then stop in again next week, when the duo premier their new menu!
So what’s the news from your part of Washington? Will there be a mad rush on the Post Office at 4:55 pm?

LaceyI live near a ballot drop-off box here in Lacey (sort of Olympia’s conjoined twin), and I’ve only seen a few people using it over the past week or so. Strangely, the post office was totally packed today, even though the drop-off box is just outside, about 50 feet from the door.
My whole family has voted, so that’s good, though I only know for certain that one relative voted to Approve 71. Friends are a different story: we’ve got lots of support and reports of “Approve” votes coming in from Bellingham to Pullman via Facebook and Twitter.
love those “Approve” reports from Pullman to Bellingham! Keep em coming!that’s so funny about the post office. the opposite was true in the seattle u-district at lunch. the post office was looking pretty lonely as most people were opting for the drop box a block away.
mmmmmmm PIZZA
Just Dropped a BallotI just visited the University Way drop box in Seattle to drop off a ballot for a friend. It was pretty busy there, which is a good thing.
I’m giving a shout-out to the owners of Aladdin Falafel Corner (a few blocks north of Pizza Brava) for displaying an Approve 71 poster. It was conspicuously located near the cash register.
