And finally last night. November 4, 2008. The end of one of the most historic campaigns in American history. The first Black American President. Seattle erupted in celebration as soon as the media called the election for Obama. It was weird seeing a Presidential Election Winner called the same night of the election let alone at 8:30 or so Pacific time. I covered election related things all day from around 3pm till around 2am. Here are just a few images of how Seattleites spent election day and how they reacted to the news of Barack Obama becoming the President Elect.

Capital Hill was one of the most political neighborhoods as far as street art supporting Barack Obama's run for the Presidency. The following two images are both from Capital Hill's downtown area near Broadway.
The next three images are from downtown Seattle during the daytime of November 4, 2008 on the corner of 4th and Pine near the Macy's. While I was there a small gathering of Obama supporters and a sprinkling on McCain supporters were picketing on the corner to help support their candidates run for the Presidency.
I was hung up at a election party for a couple propositions on the Washington Ballot while Barack Obama was predicted to win the Presidency. Right as that happened I took off as quick as possible and tried to find areas where people were celebrating the news.
As I was leaving work for the night I talked with a couple of my friends that live on Capital Hill saying that the place was going crazy and that everyone was on the corner of Broadway and Pike celebrating Obama's victory in the intersection. With that news I headed over there as fast as I could and hung out with the crowd till it dissipated in the wee hours of Wednesday morning.
