In case you…

  • Haven’t yet voted
  • Forgot where the heck you’re supposed to vote
  • Just woke up from a Rip Van Winkle-esque long sleep and realized that tomorrow is Election Day
  • Are recovering from a soap opera-like amnesia and forgot all about this whole “democracy” thing

Here is a link to a list of polling places for the general Burien area.

Here’s a link to a PDF copy of King County polling places.

If you’ve filled out your ballot but would rather drop it off, you can do so at the Delridge Neighborhood Service Center, which is located 5405 Delridge Way SW in White Center.

Only one week to make up your mind, as Tuesday, Nov. 4th is Election Day.

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.

    Here are some photos of Saturday’s “Boo In Burien” event, which involved businesses in downtown Burien handing out thousands of pieces of candy to costumed trick or treaters, as well as a Governor and other politicians:

    Sure, it’s election season, but that doesn’t mean that Washington’s Governor wouldn’t have shown up for Saturday’s “Boo In Burien” event anyways, right?

    She did, and we managed to be at the right place at the right time to grab a quick, exclusive soundbite video from her about Burien just after she bought some cookies for herself and her posse at the Danish Bakery, and just minutes before she “kicked off” the Dog Parade.

    Ever wonder what your governor thinks of Burien?

    We don’t like to print unsubstantiated rumors, but this one is too good not to, and is fresh off the streets of Burien from a very reliable source who shall remain nameless:

    A certain local state Governor who’s running for re-election may be presiding over the Costumed Dog Parade at Saturday’s “Boo In Burien” starting at 3pm!

    I guess the only way to find out is to actually show up for said Costumed Dog Parade, which begins at 3pm at 9th Ave SW on SW 152nd Street in Olde Burien.
