Apparently turnout is heavy in the low-profile but important King Conservation District vote. According to a Cola reader who just stopped by the downtown library to vote—they’re temporarily out of ballots.

    Any idea how many ballots they had? When I voted downtown at 11:55am-ish I overheard that about 550 votes had been cast which was before the main lunch rush and seemed pretty good. But I don't know how accurate that was or what came later.

    Also, it's sad that my standards for this are low enough for numbers counted in the hundreds can in any way be referred to as good.

    I'd planned on voting for Mary Embleton but the prospect of one of the property-rights candidates winning made me switch my vote for Max — the candidate who got the most public support from the Sierra Club, Dow, etc. Max might be fine but Mary's platform seemed more thoughtful, esp. her focus on farms and food. And Max's buddy-buddiness with the County makes me question his independence. When the KCD won a bigger allocation allocation a couple years ago, the WRIAs — County-affiliated entities — threw a tizzy fit. I hope Max keeps the mission of KCD a priority.
