That was the weirdest thing about Western Washington politics that I've observed: we'll keep voting until we get the answer we like. If voters refuse to give us that answer, we'll just go ahead and do it anyway. For history, I refer you to stadiums and the monorail, and I'm sure there are others I've missed.
