Kent voters! There’s a new official ballot drop box outside Kent Kangley Safeway. When the box was installed yesterday, I learned we can switch which side the door is on, so trained ballot pickup teams can access the box safely and securely.

A fully grown salmon, now an adult, begins its journey back to its place of origin - very much like your voted ballot once it’s in a drop box.

On a watery blue background, there are white words that say "Lifecycle of a salmon" but the word salmon is crossed out and beside it is the word ballot. In navy blue, the word "adult" appears below the white title words.

Like salmon in their fry stage, ballots sitting in a pile of mail at your place are pure possibility. Where will the fry end up, and which choices will you make to make your voice heard?

On a watery blue background, there's a title in white that says "Lifecycle of a salmon," but the word "salmon" is crossed out, and beside it is the word ballot. Below that title, the word "Fry" is in navy blue.

There are drawings of about a dozen gray salmon in their fry stage, swimming around a stack of colorful mail. The mail includes a postcard of mountains with a sunset and the word "adventure" on top, as well as a blue King County ballot.
