Rossi’s slightly ahead…
Now Rossi's up by a fraction of a percent: 47.49 percent to Gregoire's 46.5 percent.
He's been helped by heavy leads in rural, sparsely populated counties, primarily east of the Cascades. But Gregoire's up by nearly five percentage points in Snohomish County -- a populous battleground in this campaign.
No numbers at all yet from the other population centers: King and Pierce Counties.
