Hi, I'm Joshua McNichols, host of KOWW's podcast, Booming.

That's Monday, October 27th at 7 p.m. at the Central Library in downtown Seattle.

RSVP for this free event at KUOW.org slash events.

See you there.

In a minute, we'll learn more from Seattle Times reporter Nina Shapiro, but first, let's get you caught up.

Keep an eye on your mail. You should receive your ballot any day now. Last week, King

election is expected to be 45%. And hey, don't miss out.

You can register to vote online until October 27th or even in person as late as 8 p.m. on election day.
