Jessyn Farrell, the former Transportation Choices Coalition director who's running for the 46th District state house seat being vacated by Phyllis Gutierrez Kenney, who's retiring, rolled out an impressive list of early endorsements this afternoon, sealing her status as the candidate to beat in the 46th.

They include: State Reps. Joe Fitzgibbon (D-34), Judy Clibborn (D-41), Marko Liias (D-21), and Connie Ladenburg (D-29);  Seattle City Council members Sally Bagshaw and Tim Burgess; King County Council member Julia Patterson; and Bellevue City Council member Claudia Balducci, among others.

Farrell recently returned to Seattle from Tacoma, where she was a spokeswoman for Pierce Transit; she lives in Laurelhurst.
