Look at how big this golf course is compared to denser areas of Seattle.
In Capitol Hill it would stretch from Madison to Roy, and Boylston to 13th.
In U district it basically is the whole of U district south of 45th St.
It could house TENS of thousands of people with plenty of park space to spare.

Meanwhile, this ONE SINGLE HOUSE inside the gated golf club is assessed at $10 million.
This one house on 0.42 acre had to paid $74,608 in property taxes in 2025.
And yet the ENTIRE 122 ACRE private golf course - paid just $85,770 in combined taxes that can go toward our schools.

Paul has been talking about the tax loophole that Seattle country clubs have been enjoying for a while now but WOW I did not know how big
This is Broadmoor Golf Club. It's a gated right-wing enclave for the rich in Seattle. The golf course is 7 parcels, 122.2 acres. It's assessed at just $76k/ACRE!

We are on track to tipping over the AMOC (ocean circulation that keeps much of W. Europe habitable) into irreversible collapse by 2050.
If it tips there is no going back and it will continue collapsing throughout our kids/grandkid’s lives.
That’s just *one* change.

Harrell’s PAC got 40% of its money from donors registered outside the city of Seattle. Nearly 10% were from extreme-wealth enclaves like Medina, Mercer Island, Bainbridge, or even Santa Monica and Los Gatos.
This is an underestimate because many Seattle-registered donors are lobbying group orgs.

Yep, I logged my predictions after every drop after election night. My day 1 (11/5) drop was the closest actually! Where I predicted a 2026-vote margin outcome.

I will also note that it’s one thing to make a throwaway endorsement. Annoying, but maybe not huge.
But it’s certainly A Choice to *buy* 5-figure glossy mailer campaigns - worth 31% of the PAC budget - on behalf of the harassment candidate.

Having stared at the county-wide receiving/sorting demographics, I see it in this data too and can predict the magnitude to be about ~2%. See the cyan (dropbox) -> red (mail in) -> green (late mail in)
So today’s drop will probably be 53% Wilson, down 2% from yesterday

Oh hi that’s me.
Basically every 9am I have been scraping the KC receiving (sorted but not verified) demographics dashboard for the raw ballot counts. Subtract off the previous day, and you get the newly received demographics. That demographic would precede the actual tabulated drops by 1-2 days.

Right this moment, Wilson is estimated “down” 15 if you count only the received and demographic’d ballots on the King County dashboard, multiplied by the Stranger poll demographics breakdown.
I’m going to refrain from optimism until I see “down by 12” or better before actual drop happens tonight
