(Olympia, WA) -- Washington Governor Jay Inslee will apparently win another term in office. Initial returns show the Democrat with a 56-percent-to-44-percent lead over Republican challenger Bill Bryant. The tally shows Inslee dominating much of Western Washington, while Bryant is doing well in the less-populous central and eastern portions of the state. Inslee will face the task next year of working with lawmakers in developing a plan to fully fund K-through-12 education, in accordance with an order by the state Supreme Court.
