The election results from Nov. 3 are seemingly trickling in with some races and measures clearly settled and others waiting on upcoming reports.

In the hotly contest District 1 City Council Race between Shannon Braddock and Lisa Herbold the early lead that Braddock held is still there but the results have tightened somewhat.

The current count stands at:

Braddock –10905

Herbold – 10801

That's a margin of 104 votes with more ballots to be counted.

Neither side has said the outcome is final as yet.

Shannon Braddock said, "As predicted, this is a very close race. We had a very strong 'get out the vote' effort. I feel good about our numbers -- and our lead. It will likely be a few more days until the race is decided. I am proud of our campaign - positive and focused on the issues important to West Seattle and South Park."

Herbold said, "The election results are still inconclusive – with roughly 11,000 more ballots to be counted.... In the primary we saw a four point swing in my favor with post primary results trending my way. I think we can expect the same of these results."
