Durkan, Moon Still Lead In Seattle Mayoral Primary After Ballot Drop

SEATTLE, WA - Not much changed in the Seattle mayoral and City Council primary races after King County updated election results Wednesday afternoon. Cary Moon and Jenny Durkan are still the top two in the mayoral race, and Jon Grant and Teresa Mosqueda lead in the open Council race.

Most significantly, Moon increased her lead over third-place candidate Nikkita Oliver to about 2,000. Oliver, however, has not conceded yet. Former state representative Jessyn Farrell trails Oliver by less than 2,000 votes.
