Not shocking — it’s a sea of 60% or higher approval around Capitol Hill and central Seattle. You can imagine what the 502 vote looked like. Jump over to our pals at the Montlaker blog’s Election maps for Central Seattle for additional maps of the 502 vote, charter schools and the governor’s race — plus high-resolution versions of all four.

Curious, and it heightens my awareness when I’m going through that area.
Yeah, what is that? Western International District? It looks like includes the apartments along S Washington St.
That’s the I District, specifically so-called “Little Saigon” (south of Yesler, east of I-5). You’ve got some evangelical christians (eg some of the Korean churches) in that area, but there are also a lot of older immigrants living there. Clearly more Asian and African sons and daughters need to come out to their parents.
It also includes a large swath of the Yesler Terrace neighborhood
Yeah, that’s why I belatedly added “African” in there — while YT is traditionally African-American (childhood home to Sir Mix-A-Lot, among others), lately it has welcomed more recent immigrants from Africa, particularly the Horn (Ethiopia/Eritrea, Somalia, etc).
