Lots of interesting news this last week in the Burien area, from Day of the Dead to Election Day to the Day of a Massive Police Response in Tukwila and more.

Here are the stories we covered between Nov. 1 and Nov. 8, 2009:

Tuesday, Feb. 3rd is Election Day, so if you haven’t done so already, dig out your ballot thingy, fill in your one vote and drop it in the mail today.

As a reminder, you’re voting on one item in this “Special Election” – Director of Elections – and your choices are:

• Irons, David
• Huff, Sherril
• Kempf, Julie
• Anderson, Bill
• Clifford, Christopher
• Roach, Pam

You can also drop your ballot thingy off at the nearest 24-hour drop box, located in West Seattle:

• Delridge Neighborhood Service Center, located at 5405 Delridge Way SW (map below)

Also, a new feature offered by King County Elections is a “ballot tracker” – to track the progress of your already-mailed ballot, click here, fill out your name and birthdate to see where your ballot is (bad news: it doesn’t tell you that you left it on the dresser at home).

For more information, go to the King County Elections website here.

We spotted this disconcerting yard in Burien this morning, with two different gubernatorial candidate signs. We can only assume that:

The couple that lives there has two different, conflicting opinions

Someone just can’t make up their mind so they’re hedging their bets

A psychotic prankster is sitting at his/her computer laughing maniacally right now

If you’re wondering where to cast your vote, you can refer to this King County Elections page.

If you haven’t already sent your mail-in ballot in, you can also drop it off at the Delridge Neighborhood Service Center, located at 5405 Delridge Way SW, or in Renton at the King County Elections Office at 919 SW Grady Way.
