Without solicitating major donations, and hiring paid, professional signature gatherers, I doubt it'll make the ballot. I hope I'm wrong.

At a guess, I'd say it'd take about 80-100k to push it to the ballot -- to absolutly ensure there are enough signatures.

And on the downside, with this July 2nd deadline, they are missing every major festival in the area (hempfest, Folklife, Bumpbershoot, Seafair, 4th of july fireworks, Cirqe, et cetera). Having the ability to gather signatures at the festivals that take place July through Sept would have been a huge bonus.
