SEATTLE — Seattle voters rejected a 20-cent fee for every paper or plastic bag they get from supermarkets, drug stores and convenience stores.
With about half the ballots counted in the all-mail vote, the bag fee was failing 58 percent to 42 percent Tuesday.
City leaders had passed an ordinance to charge the fee, but the plastics industry bankrolled a referendum to put the question to voters in Tuesday’s election.
