Watch TV Tacoma from 8:30 to 10 p.m. tonight, for up-to-the-minute returns on the races that matter to you. Watch live, one-on-one interviews with candidates and learn more about your newly elected representatives on the Tacoma City Council, Civil Service Board, Port Commission, Metro Parks and School boards.

“The TV Tacoma staff enjoy airing live election night coverage since channel 12 is the only local, comprehensive source for information about races that affect Tacoma residents,” said Communications Division Manager Carol Mathewson.

If tonight’s City Council meeting lasts longer than 8:30 p.m., the election returns will be listed along the bottom of the screen during the meeting with live coverage beginning after the meeting ends. Following the live coverage, election returns will continue to be updated and aired on TV Tacoma until the 1 a.m. replay of the City Council meeting. Election returns will return immediately following the meeting replay and will air until 6 a.m., Nov. 5.

TV Tacoma is channel 12 in the City of Tacoma and channel 21 throughout Pierce County (except the Gig Harbor Peninsula).
