In another Pierce County race, Tacoma Mayor Brian Ebersole easily won his bid for a second term, defeating Will Baker, a community activist once jailed for refusing to stop talking at a City Council meeting. Mike Lonergan, executive director of the Tacoma Rescue Mission, and Bill Evans, owner of shops in the downtown and Proctor districts, were locked in a close race. Doug Miller, a longtime Metropolitan Park District commissioner, was in a tight race with Beckie Summers, a member of the Tacoma Public Library Board, in Council District 1. Bil Moss, assistant to the County Executive Doug Sutherland and wife of former Tacoma Mayor Harold Moss, held a narrow lead over Amy Hoglund, a civil service board member and longtime Democratic activist, in Council District 3. The Pierce County Auditor's office expects to update its election results on Friday.
Final count is set for sometime next week.
