Here are a couple of things from my notebook that didn't make it into the paper last week:

On campaign spending: In the Seattle mayor's race, Joe Mallahan spent just over $400,000 on his primary campaign. Half of that was his own money, and he was about $55,000 in debt as of the last campaign-finance statement Aug. 10.

Mallahan's campaign spokeswoman, Charla Neuman, told me Friday that Mallahan won't be putting any more of his own money into his campaign.

"Not if his wife has anything to say about it," she said, apparently joking.

Neuman said the plan had always been for Mallahan to get the campaign started, and he's depending on supporters to put up the funds for his general-election campaign.

Mike McGinn, on the other hand, spent just $79,000 on his primary campaign. He reported about $500 in debt on his last report.

McGinn, still in first place among eight candidates, beat three candidates who outspent him in the primary: Mallahan, of course; Also Jan Drago, who spent about $131,000; and incumbent Mayor Greg Nickels, who spent $561,565.

We don't know what happened, financially, in the last week before the primary, because those reports haven't been filed yet.

On relaxing after the primary: Both McGinn and Mallahan went away this weekend to regroup and spend some time with their families. McGinn went to a friend's house in the Cle Elum area. Mallahan went to Birch Bay, where he used to vacation as a child with his family.

The Seattle City Council is in recess this week, so the offices are quiet. After coming in fifth in the mayoral race last week, Drago was at work in her office today wearing running clothes. She is training for next year's Rock 'n' Roll Seattle Half Marathon, she said.
