Unelected busybody says that the duly elected mayor doesn't get a vote?

She did it!🎉

This puts the Seattle mayoral election outside of recount territory! A recount is required when the race is within 2,000 votes AND 0.5%. Katie Wilson now leads Bruce Harrell by 0.72%. #waelex #SEAelex

Congratulations to our Mayor-elect, @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social! #ThisIsOurCity #Seattle #SEAElex #SeattleElex #KCElex #WAElex

Congratulations to our new Mayor-Elect Wilson!!

SEATTLE!!! We’ve now taken the lead by 91 votes! 🤯 This thing is certainly not over! Over 1,000 ballots have been challenged, so if you haven’t tracked your ballot yet get on it! Our trusty volunteers have been working hard to "cure" ballots so they count! We're so close!

Hey Seattle voters. The mayor's race may come down to a slim margin of votes, so check TODAY to make sure your signature was validated and ballot was counted. There are easy steps to correct things if your ballot was rejected: info.kingcounty.gov/kcelections/...

Could the Seattle mayoral election go to a recount? And if so, how would it work? I answer those questions here:

👏 CHECK 👏 YOUR 👏 BALLOT 👏

Less than 2 points away!! THIS IS YOUR CITY!!! Mayor Wilson is on her way

My ballot was counted this year, but in a previous election is was rejected and I had to fix it — just took a couple of minutes. Make sure yours was counted Seattle! info.kingcounty.gov/kcelections/...

Happy Day After Election Day! If you're one of the thousands of procrastivoters who voted late in the election period, now's a great time to track your ballot at kce.wiki/MyVoterInfo. See an issue in your ballot tracker? Give us a call at 206-296-8683.

What the hell??

It's so important that people speak clearly about their policy experience with @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social AND with the mismanagement of previous mayoral administrations. Thanks for sharing your perspective on Katie's strengths.

I don't remember having pouring rain on Halloween. We haven't had a single Trick or Treater. Thankfully I don't like Skittles.

Final weekend to vote! Vote for @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social , let's make the city affordable for people raising a family!

Bruce Harrell's biggest selling point is his "experience," but these Seattle city employees want you to know that the price of this experience is too high, and Seattle can't afford to pay it anymore.

I address the first scandal of my political life—Momgate.

Over on Insta - @joemallahan.bsky.social has a video that should disqualify Harrell from ever being in office again. We don't need someone who stands with abusers, time after time, and makes jokes to deflect responsibility for it. Vote for Katie Wilson

Whoa. Chicago mayor calls for a general strike; now we're talking www.huffpost.com/entry/chicag...

Seattle No Kings from the monorail

“If he’s going to involve himself in situations like this, or these traumatic incidents, don’t come half-ass,” Chappell said. This is also a valid critique for Harrell’s last 16 years in office. Seattle deserves more than half ass effort.

Whoever Harrell and Nelson are using, I agree with their consultant messaging that Seattle needs a change. The current leadership of the city is utterly failing to deliver good outcomes for our neighbors. #VoteforKatie

This is true of basically any new tax—passing taxes for a specific purpose assumes that the city council and mayor will act in good faith to spend it on that purpose. After this new council fully abandoned that principle with JumpStart, it's fair to assume they'll do the same with other new taxes.

🤦🏽‍♀️ The mayor's budget priorities speak volumes. If you're not wealthy, he just doesn't care about your livability in this city. #VoteforKatie #ThisIsYourCity

More than once I had to remind Seattle Public commenter that our City workers are dedicated public servants working hard to make our neighborhoods better. They deserve respect and dignity whether you like their ideas or not.

Now is not the time to reelect a mayor who refuses to take responsibility for the failures of his administration. We have lost shelter beds every year of the mayor’s term, and more people are sleeping outside as a result. We are a national outlier on unsheltered homelessness.

The number of leaves in the MLK bike lane is quite festive, but it also feels really dangerous @seattledot.bsky.social

Exactly. If Harrell is re-elected, nothing will change on homelessness, on housing costs, and so much more. He will take it as validation of what he's done so far.

“A lot of crime these days is driven by poverty and those issues can't be solved by throwing more money at cops, unless the goal is criminalizing poor people.”

I know this is a toughie for republicans like Suarez and reactionary centrists like Harrell, but the difference between individual citizens wearing masks and agents of the state wearing masks is that citizens are not required to identify themselves but agents of the state are.

I think this wins the Playoffs/National Fuckery Gestalt Award

Oh My God!!! There IS crying in baseball!!!

Shit that hurts. 90- 100 mph on the back of your hand?

Do it Gilbert. You know you can!!

Muñoz!!!!!!!!

Holy razors Batman! That was a close shave!!

I'm going for a walk

Fuck
