@wilsonforseattle.bsky.social now has an 8 point lead and over 50% of the vote.

Harrell’s core constituency is wealthy white owners of waterfront mansions.

Per-precinct Election Night data are now available for King County, Washington's primary election. First up for Seattle voters, incumbent mayor Bruce Harrell trailed challenger Katie Wilson by about 1,300 votes. #seaElex #waElex #seattle #SeaElection #electionViz #dataviz

Your face is on a mailer paid for by corporate PACs supporting an incumbent who governs for his wealthy donors, not his constituents. You support Mamdani in NY, so please consider supporting the progressive, grassroots challenger in your own city.

Council Amendments to Comprehensive Plan Show Competing Priorities - PubliCola The comprehensive plan sets rules for how Seattle develops in the future, including where the city will allow its renter…

Did you know some council members want to slash development to protect homeowners, force redesigns if new housing threatens a tree of ANY size, and give the city HOA-like authority to dictate the type of siding on some houses? I read the comp plan amendments so you don't have to.

Join Kathleen this Saturday at her community picnic to hear about her SPS vision and to congratulate her on Tuesday’s win. She is a future SPS parent, skilled data scientist and a new organizer with t4housing.

Meanwhile, looking at @thestranger.com's endorsements...

Katie ready for the rest of the race.

Katie with the crowd.

Tonight, we got results that were even better than we hoped, and it’s likely to only get better.

Seattle, you showed up!

It’s clear that voters want change.

This is your city.

Join the campaign, and let’s get this done!

Great point! I'm already seeing the "bad night for incumbents" spin floating around ... but Alexis Mercedes Rinck had a very good night indeed!

Election results for Council Position No. 8: • Jesse A. James: 2,534 votes (2.80%) • Cooper Hall: 1,333 votes (1.47%) • Alexis Mercedes Rinck: 68,078 votes (75.24%) • Rachael Savage: 13,503 votes (14.92%) • Ray A. Rogers: 4,328 votes (4.78%) • Write-in: 700 votes (0.77%).

Now, this would be where people may think this is just a bad election for all incumbents, but that’s not accurate.

Progressive incumbent Alexis Mercedes Rinck leads her challengers with a whopping 75% of the vote.

Moderate incumbents are struggling but the progressive incumbent is thriving.

Election results for “City of Seattle” mayoral race. Total ballots counted: 98,339; registered voters: 501,438; turnout: 19.61%. Candidates: • Joe Mallahan: 4,640 votes (4.82%) • Ry Armstrong: 996 votes (1.04%) • Isaiah Willoughby: 473 votes (0.49%) • Bruce Harrell: 43,160 votes (44.86%) • Clinton Bliss: 1,275 votes (1.33%) • Thaddeus Whelan: 424 votes (0.44%) • Joe Molloy: 402 votes (0.42%) • Katie Wilson: 44,457 votes (46.21%) • Write-in: 386 votes (0.40%).

For the 4th time in a year, Seattle voters made their preference for more progressive governance clear.

In the mayoral race, Katie Wilson leads the moderate incumbent mayor Bruce Harrell.

Wilson’s opponents tactics of painting progressives as extreme may have gotten stale. #SEAelex #WAvotes

Real estate execs and lobbyists have dropped $300K into Harrell’s PAC to try and buy the election. They know that @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social will make wealthy businesses pay their fair share in taxes and will bring down rents by building Social Housing. Vote by 8PM Tuesday! #ThisIsYourCity

upzone Laurelhurst and Magnolia!!!!

The Seattle City Council's Comp Plan committee is kicking off now, where we're going to be breaking down proposed amendments to the city's 20-year growth plan, including permanent residential zoning regulations and final neighborhood center boundaries.

But we don't yet have those amendments.
