Citizen Rain fought off Big Blog early and a surging Field Gulls late. Kirida just ran off and hid.

But regardless, it’s time to start the Coyote Bracket, with the debut of newcomer Hillku and the return of last year’s semifinalist West Seattle Blog.

UPDATE: First poll misconfigured. Should be fixed now. Sorry about that.

Two West Seattle blogs in this part of the bracket. Also, Citizen Rain becomes the first Big Media blog (part of Belo, which owns KING-TV) to ever win a round in Blarch Badness.

Round 2 finishes off tomorrow, but you can still affect its outcome by voting in Round 1. Or, run back and vote for Round 2’s Monday and Tuesday matchups one more time.
