Election Night

Looks like the good governor has come to the Colman Triangle for her election night soiree. The parking lot at the Northwest African American Museum was full of local TV trucks this evening as my daughter and I took went walkabout in the neighborhood. The KOMO reporter wouldn't talk to my three-year-old daughter, but someone else confirmed the reason for the party.

The Stranger's Eric C. Barnett confirms on Slog:

I’m at the Northwest African American History Museum at the former Colman School in South Seattle, and we’re waiting for Gov. Christine Gregoire to show up for her third event of the night. She’s running late from her last event—a hoity-toity “high-donor” private fundraiser at an undisclosed location—and the crowd is milling around in an increasingly hot room, drinking (mostly wine) and talking (mostly about Darcy Burner). “We Are Family” is blasting from the speakers.

Last week we had Senator Murray. Tonight Chris Gregoire.

All within spitting distance of our local crack house.

One step at a time.
