King County Elections put out a late afternoon round of voting results that tightened two Seattle City Council races. In one, Bruce Harrell, who had been presumed to be the winner on election night, saw his challenger Tammy Morales draw to within just over 3.5 percentage points. If late returns continue to go Morales' way, the southwest Seattle contest could become neck and neck.

In the race to represent West Seattle and South Park, Lisa Herbold continued to gain ground on election night leader Shannon Braddock. Herbold is just over 400 votes, or about 2 percentage points, behind Braddock, but has made up considerable ground.
