2026 General Election Endorsements

The Urbanist, a Seattle-focused publication, released its 2026 general election endorsements covering statewide ballot measures, Washington State legislative races, and local King County positions. The outlet opposes three statewide initiatives backed by hedge fund manager Brian Heywood (including one restricting school privacy and another requiring sex inspections of girls in sports) and supports the millionaires tax. Ballots arrive by October 16 statewide; voters have until 8 p.m. November 3 to return them.
