They're still counting absentees, though as far as I can tell, it's still looking good. But you never know. I can't find updated totals, but all the news sources seem to be saying it's passed.
Absentee results can still take another 13 days or something. :-p
52%-48% according to metrokc.gov, the actual vote margin being something like 5,000 votes out of 100,000 cast; so there'd have to be a lot of absentees who really hate the idea to turn that around.
Stranger things have happened, of course.
(Speaking of stranger things, I wonder what the Sound Transit folks are going to do now that 776 has toasted their budget extra crispy? Anybody for a light rail line from Eastlake to Westlake...?)
I think he said "every Sound Transit project to fund light rail." Sound Transit has several successful programmes - busses, park-and-ride lots, commuter rail to Tacoma - and those will be cut, to keep the unstarted light-rail construction going.
