Election result: Did Voters Make Seattle Progressive Again?

David Hyde, Erica Barnett, and Sandeep Kaushik Season 4 Episode 16

Nearly 6 in 10 Seattle voters said yes to Proposition 1A to fund social housing after the first ballot count. It's shaping up like a big win for the more progressive side in Seattle politics.
