Maybe I am naive in thinking it's not an issue to share with you how I voted, but oh well. Here's how I voted and the election results for each. Initiatives
  • I-872: Lousiana-style primary (top 2 vote getters regardless of party) – I voted No, but it passed
  • I-884: +1% sales tax for education – I voted Yes but it didn't pass
  • I-892: Gambling – I voted No and so did most other people
  • I-55: Charter Schools – I voted No along with the majority
  • I-297: Additional regulations on “mixed” radioactive and nonradioactive hazardous waste at Hanford – I voted Yes, so did "they"
  • King County Alternative Proposed Charter Amendments 1A and1B to reduce the county council from 13 to 9 – I voted No and on part B said if it passes then reelection in 2007; It passed with option A
  • King County Advisory Measure No. 1 on whether the council should propose a new transportation plan in 2005 – I voted Yes and it won
  • King County Advisory Measure No. asked if a transportaiton plan were proposed how we'd like to see it paid for – I voted for a gas tax but an excise tax on vehicle value was the most popular choice
  • I-83: Monorail recall - I voted No and it was successfully defeated
