Seattle has made national headlines being one of the country’s epicenters of protests and activism during 2020. With Election Day looming over the minds of many Seattleites, the outcome will determine if Seattle will be amongst the cities in political unrest.

The potential damage of the possible political unrest on our communities and economy shows a glimpse of the country’s division and lack leadership to unify the nation. The anxiety of what may come, has pushed some businesses to prepare for the worst.

To ease the anxiety of this country, the only solution is to vote. In Washington, if you haven’t submitted your ballot yet, use the ballot boxes to ensure your vote gets counted. If you are submitting it on Election Day, make sure to submit it before 8:00 p.m to ensure it’s received. Seattleites refer to the King County ballot box locations provided with your ballot or visit King County’s ballot box page. Voting is right for all citizens, don’t ignore the power and voice you have as a U.S. citizen.
