For an hour and a half this morning, Jessie Israel’s mom and brother stood on the corner of 15th and Market holding a big banner hoping to get your attention and your vote.

Israel is Ballard’s only candidate on the ballot, running for Seattle City Council against incumbent Nick Licata. “It’s an exciting day,” Israel’s mother says as the two of them wave at passing cars.

Several Prop. 1 advocates were also out with gloves and scarves on, waving their signs at voters who drove by.

Later today is the open house at the Neighborhood Service Center (5604 22nd Ave NW) from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. Drop off your ballot and meet your neighbors.
