Autumn Sunset

The sun goes down on Meydenbaur Bay near where I parked to attend a meet and greet at the 520 Bar And Grill  for Bellevue mayor Claudia Balducci.  Balducci is in a race to topple 20 year incumbent Jane Hague from the King County Council.  The honored guest of the evening was U.S. Representative Adam Smith.
Although the race is officially non-partisan, it is quite clear that Balducci is a Democrat and Hague is Republican.  Hague was first elected to the council in '94, since then, the Eastside has totally changed, becoming much more diverse and blue collar.
