We have already told you who to vote for and even given you a cheat sheet so you don't have to do any work at all to figure out how to fill out your ballot.
But in case you're one of those people who wants to actually make up your mind for yourself, I have some suggestions.
I wrote about hanging out with almost all of the candidates during the primary and there have been some really thorough debates and forums this year. If you've waited this long to figure out who you're going to vote for, though, I'm guessing you haven't had time for those.
So below I've embedded KING 5's "mini-debates" and KUOW's debates for the city council races and ballot measures they covered. Crack open your ballot, figure out where you're unsure, consult the SECB, and then, if you must, hear from the candidates themselves.
You can learn more about who's funding these campaigns here, here, here, and here.
And remember: ballots have to be postmarked or in a drop box by Tuesday.

I promise this race is more interesting than it sounds. Zack Hudgins is blaming his opponent, Julie Wise, for low voter turnout, uncounted ballots, and too few drop boxes. He's also called her out for exaggerating her rĂŠsumĂŠ. Wise, meanwhile, says Hudgins has no real elections experience and his partisanship (he's currently a Democratic state rep) will get in the way of fostering fair elections.
You should really listen to these two on our week-in-review podcast Blabbermouth.
