Help Seattle win our contest for best public art
We knew you could do it, Seattle. The latest: Both Seattle art pieces we submitted in our Axios Local public art contest made it through the first round of voting, advancing to the Elite Eight. Catch up quick: In honor of March Madness, each Axios Local city in the Mountain West region — Seattle, Portland, Phoenix, San Francisco, Salt Lake City, Denver, San Diego and soon Boulder — submitted two of their best and weirdest pieces of public art. We at Axios Seattle leaned into the "weird," submitting the Fremont Troll and Georgetown's Hat n' Boots as our entries. Each artwork was seeded No. 1 through 16. And much like the NCAA tournament, there were some major upsets after the first round of voting and some Cinderella stories are brewing. What's next: We need your help to ensure Seattle is represented in the Final Four! (You know our troll under a bridge is better than that whale on a roundabout in Salt Lake City.) Vote here to help Seattle advance in the tournament!

Thin Mints are Seattle's top Girl Scout cookie, our poll finds
Axios Seattle readers are closely divided about which Girl Scout cookie is the best — but after three days of voting, Thin Mints edged out Samoas in our very scientific poll. Why it matters: Arguing over food is a glorious pastime (even if in reality we'd gladly shove all nine types of Girl Scout cookies in our mouths, no questions asked). By the numbers: Thin Mints and Samoas were trading blows all week. Each cookie pulled into the lead at different times, often separated by only a vote or two. In the end, 244 of the 883 people who took our poll named Thin Mints as their favorite cookie. Samoas, meanwhile, captured 242 votes. State of play: Monday is the last day to order Girl Scout cookies online through a local seller, according to the Girl Scouts of Western Washington. You'll still find in-person sales at locations throughout the region through March 16.
