« Good morning
Goldman Sachs and Whatcom County »

A quiet day in blogville…

mostly because the blogs were out of operation for much of the day because of evil spirits. Now I’m enjoying pizza in the newsroom–an election night tradition–waiting for the polls to close and end the unbearable suspense of Indecision 2009.

But seriously, the results of the Port races that I’m covering are going to be interesting. It’s the first real referendum on years of planning and hemming and hawing on waterfront redevelopment. Are people happy with where the port and city are now? Or will the challengers tap into seething discontent? I have no idea, but I’ll know before bedtime.

I think I can eat one more slice.
