The county elections office has counted about 12,000 more ballots from voters in the city of Seattle, and last night's primary election results are mostly holding true.

Incumbent Jean Godden continues to lag behind challengers Rob Johnson and Michael Maddux, meaning she's unlikely to make it through to this fall's general election.

Socialist council member Kshama Sawant's vote count edged over the 50 percent mark to about 50.5 percent of the vote. Jon Grant, the tenant advocate likely to face incumbent Tim Burgess this fall, increased his portion of the vote from about 28 to about 29 percent.

The main shift—which is still pretty tiny—happened in the race for West Seattle's District 1, where Lisa Herbold and Shannon Braddock still appear headed for the general, but Herbold barely took the lead from Braddock. Last night, Braddock was leading with about 28.6 percent of the vote. Today, Herbold has about 28.6 percent to Braddock's 28.2 percent.

Here's where the races stand:

District 1 (West Seattle)

Herbold: 28.56%
Braddock: 28.23%
Phillip Tavel: 18.51%

District 2 (southeast):

Bruce Harrell: 61.91%
Tammy Morales: 24.63%
Josh Farris: 12.98%

District 3 (Capitol Hill, Central District)

Kshama Sawant: 50.47%
Pamela Banks: 34.96%
Rod Hearne: 10.21%

District 4 (northeast)

Rob Johnson: 33.66%
Michael Maddux: 23.13%
Jean Godden: 20.87%

District 5 (north)

Debora Juarez: 38.87%
Sandy Brown: 20.38%
Halei Watkins: 13.92%

District 6 (northwest)

Mike O'Brien: 58.57%
Catherine Weatbrook: 22.27%
Jon Lisbin: 13.57%

District 7 (downtown)

Sally Bagshaw: 76.55%
Deborah Zech-Artis: 13.35%
Gus Hartmann: 9.42%

Position 8 (citywide)

Position 9 (citywide)

Lorena González: 64.23%
Bill Bradburd: 15.12%
Alon Bassok: 9.20%

I wrote earlier today about how the city council results show that district elections aren't favoring NIMBYs and about why Godden's campaign wasn't able to push her past either of two very strong challengers. She's the only incumbent who looks unlikely to make it through to November.

In the race for an open port commission seat, Fred Felleman and Marion Yoshino still look like they're headed to the general election. Sydney wrote about the importance of two candidates running on anti-pollution platforms making it through.

All of our coverage from last night is right here.

Another ballot drop is expected tomorrow at 4:30 p.m. and the results will be certified August 18.
