Eastside voters favored a new leader with old ties in Redmond and a return to old-fashioned math in their schools, according to the latest election returns Wednesday.
John Marchione held a comfortable lead over Jim Robinson in the Redmond mayor's race. The son of former Redmond Mayor Doreen Marchione, whom outgoing Mayor Rosemarie Ives defeated 16 years ago, Marchione said he was "delighted" by his wide margin over Robinson.
As of late Wednesday, Marchione was receiving 56.60 percent of the votes and Robinson 43.24 percent. Marchione is finishing his first term on the council; Robinson has held his council seat since 1992 and was endorsed by Ives.
"It's not like we're warring factions," Marchione said of the contentious mayoral race.
"We're all very passionate about Redmond and we all want the best for Redmond."
Challengers pushing for a return to traditional math lead incumbents in one Bellevue and one Lake Washington school district school-board race.
Challenger Michael Murphy, a traditional-math advocate, led incumbent Jan Still in the race for Bellevue Director District 4.
In the only contested race in the Lake Washington School District, traditional-math advocate Chris Carlson remained ahead of Matt Gregory, who was appointed to the position in June.
Incumbent Peter Bentley maintained his lead over Sheila Killeen for Bellevue Director District 2.
In the two contested races for Snoqualmie Valley School Board, Caroline Loudenback remained ahead of longtime board member Richard Krona for Director District 2. Parent leader Kathryn Lerner kept her wide margin over Stephne Porterfield in Director District 3. The incumbent did not run.
In Newcastle, Planning Commissioner Russ Segner was leading Councilmember Sonny Putter by just 17 votes.
Former Duvall City Councilmember Gary Rutledge led Planning Commissioner Anne Laughlin by 19 votes.

Kirkland Councilmember Jessica Greenway was leading Penny Sweet, president of the Celebrate Kirkland festival, by 92 votes.
Shawn Whitney, a member of Medina's emergency-preparedness committee, has a 59-vote lead over Councilmember Pete Vall-Spinosa.
A Medina ballot measure to put the city's power lines underground was failing.
