A few days ago we reported that Protect Seattle Now, a group of opponents of the deep-bored tunnel project, submitted 28,928 signatures to the City Clerk’s office in the hopes of bringing forward a referendum on the issue.

On Wednesday, March 30 King County Elections started verifying the submitted signatures to put the deep-bored tunnel on the ballot for a public vote. Of the over 1,751 signatures counted on Wednesday, more than 73 percent were valid. According to Protect Seattle Now, this is “well above the 56 percent validity rate needed to qualify.”
