Election results trickle in….

Carrie was all smiles as she hears the news that she will be sworn in as the Town's first woman mayor.
It was an off-year election, but it was interesting to us, because the Town Council changed around, and the County got a chance to move ahead with a chance for money. In brief:
The Town Council looks pretty different as we head to the end of the year – new mayor Carrie Lacher will be joined by new council members Felix Menjivar & Noel Monin (elected last night after being selected in the summer to replace Chris Wolfe)…and someone will be appointed to fill out the rest of Carrie’s term.
The fireworks ban was upheld, the County Levy Lid Lift was approved, and Island Rec’s six year levy was approved, which serves to reinstate sports at Friday Harbor High.
Incumbent Greg Hertel held onto his seat as a Port Commissioner, while Amy Windthrope joins Island Rec’s Board.
Tim Eyman’s I-1033 went down statewide 55%-45%, which echoed the County’s vote, while the County voted strongly in support of state referendum 71, which was winning at the state level by a 2% margin early this morning.
