TACOMA, Wash. -- Mayors for Tacoma, Bremerton and Vancouver were on the Tuesday ballot.

The race for Tacoma mayor is still tight. City Councilwoman Marilyn Strickland has only a 178-vote lead over architect Jim Merritt.

The Bremerton mayor's race is even closer. Former county commissioner Patty Lent has a 41-vote lead over City Councilman Will Maupin.

It appears that Vancouver City Councilman Tim Leavitt will unseat Mayor Royce Pollard. The Vancouver Columbian reports Leavitt has a 54-46 percent lead. And Sean Guard defeated Stacee Sellers for Washougal mayor.

In other races, Lake Stevens approved an annexation of 10,000 people, and Pierce County voted to eliminate a Superior Court judge.
