Politics

People in Seattle City Hall live and breathe politics. For the past few months, they’ve also been able to eat politics. Obama and Romney sugar cookies have been selling well at the City Grind Espresso stand at Seattle City Hall, although owner Jon Streeter says there hasn't been quite the same hype as in 2008.

"They've been steady, and I think there are more places to get them, so I think overall they're probably  selling as well, but for us they're not nearly the big deal they were four years ago," Streeter said.

Police are investigating an overnight burglary at the Seattle headquarters of the state Democrat Party.

Spokesman Mark Jamieson says it was reported at 5:30 a.m. Tuesday by someone arriving for work.

He says there's no immediate indication of a political motivation. He says it's a burglary in a building that happens to house campaign folks.

State Democrats Communications Director Benton Strong says the building at 901 Rainier Ave. S. also serves as an office for Organizing for America and Jay Inslee for Washington.

The first big wave of results for elections in Washington state are expected at about 8:15 pm. Here's a countdown clock set for that time.
