It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans. 🧵 1 of 9

We need to hold elected officials accountable for votes that go against their campaign rhetoric. See screenshot below from 2023 campaign season @hacksandwonks.bsky.social interview. In a district that Katie Wilson won by 16 points we really need a more reliable progressive voice in D3.

While I didn't accomplish quite as much outside in 2025 as 2024 - still very thankful to my body for taking me on all sorts of adventures both near and far!

Passionate Ones by Nourished by Time! Supremely fun R&B with important messages!

Paul has been talking about the tax loophole that Seattle country clubs have been enjoying for a while now but WOW I did not know how big This is Broadmoor Golf Club. It's a gated right-wing enclave for the rich in Seattle. The golf course is 7 parcels, 122.2 acres. It's assessed at just $76k/ACRE!

Holy turkey, we are definitely smashing records this year. Happy Cranksgiving! #CranksgivingSEA

Glad to be part of my first Cranksgiving this year! So many people doing it for the first time!

There's lot of challenged ballots in Seattle. Challenged ballots disproportionately skew younger with over half from people under age 45.

Do you want @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social to have a better chance to win? Track your ballot, track your neighbors’ ballots if you think they are Wilson voters. Every single vote counts. Last photo by @jeremycaney.bsky.social

We are just one day out from the Seattle local elections! Only 17.6% of King County voters and just under 20% of Seattle voters have returned their ballots. So far, only 1 in 17 young gen Z voters have voted, compared to more than 1 in 3 boomers. Don't forget to vote if you are eligible and want to.

Legendary! Everyone remember to vote @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social

Everyone deserves food security. Today, I sat down with my friends Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal and Kenji López-Alt to discuss keeping our city fed as the President ends SNAP benefits for millions of Americans.

A Baseball and King County Elections 🧵: As the Major League Baseball season wraps up and we get close to some very important local elections, I had a thought that ties together a baseball statistic and the very important upcoming King County Executive Race. (1/9)

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

"Tuesday night at the Capitol Hill Community Council/First Hill Improvement Association Mayoral Debate, Harrell revealed his office is looking at removing more elements installed during construction of the $144 million RapidRide G line."

Excited to vote for this group! @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social @alexis4seattle.bsky.social Dionne Foster, and Erika Evans!

NEW // 2025 General Election Endorsements Read @theurbanist.org election committee's take on a very consequential election. www.theurbanist.org/2025/10/16/2...

Before you tune into the Mariners game, read this story about campaign finance drama: www.thestranger.com/news/2025/10...

With 22 full time employees devoted to graffiti abatement in Bruce Harrell's 2026 budget, that team would officially be twice as large as SDOT's Vision Zero team (11 people).

that Bruce Harrell ad that just ran on the Mariners broadcast sucks absolute shit. I can’t wait to vote that dude out of the mayor’s office and hopefully never have to hear from him again.

Reason Number 75 to vote for Katie Wilson!

The "Bruce Harrell for Seattle's Future" PAC has raised more money from Medina residents than the "Katie Wilson for an Affordable Seattle" PAC has raised overall.

I was just as shocked with the news about the route 2 bus only lane as you. We are working on it. We need to prioritize pedestrian safety and not go backwards on our transit investments.

Confirmed: SDOT will be removing the bus only lane on E Union Street this weekend, ceding this part of the $130 million RapidRide G project back to general purpose traffic in response to requests from nearby property owners.

During my 3 years living in Seattle without a car, my access to parks and nature was significantly constrained. Many of Seattle’s coastal parks are hard to reach by transit. So are the out-of-town hikes. We can do better to ensure everyone can enjoy the natural beauty of the PNW

Why have I not seen one Seattle news outlet localize what the Jimmy Kimmel thing means on the local level? Because it means a lot. Sinclair - the company that did this to him - owns KOMO. And they're bowing to the FCC so they can merge with Nextstar/TEGNA, which just bought KING 5.

While renters are "growth" that must be "mitigated" by requiring every part of the city to accept a fair share of them, house owners are "community" who deserve a veto over whether and how anyone else can live near them

If only the 2023 Seattle City Council close election results went the other way. Housing policy in this comp plan would be less status quo & more equitable with Ron Davis and Andrew Lewis instead of Rivera and Kettle. Davis lost by 235 votes. Lewis lost by 439 votes. Odd year elections must go.

MLK Labor has dual endorsed Katie Wilson, months after sole endorsing Bruce Harrell. Endorsements from elected who take the group’s lead, like Teresa Mosqueda, will follow

We have a very good Public Disclosure Act in the state of Washington. SPD has ginned up a way to violate the law, which both violates the intent and letter of the PDA and discourages public records requests, which SPD's communications office often directs me to file instead of answering questions.

I made an animated gif comparing the best possible zoning map we can implement (Alternative 5) and Mayor Harrell's proposed plan. In short, Harrell undermined what would have been a transformative housing plan, betraying everyday Seattleites and leaving us with scraps. #BruceHarrellTheHousingPeril

Are you a human being, and not a car? Would you like your health, safety, and quality of life to be more important than someone else’s money? Vote @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social in November.

WTF❗️ ICE arrested two firefighters who were fighting an active fire in WA’s Olympic Peninsula

The new Nourished by Time album is phenomenal stuff!

Man struck from behind while biking on section of Lake Washington Blvd where city dropped planned safety upgrades #SEAbikes #Seattle

You don’t get a citizenship interview unless you hold a green card and have done everything exactly right. There is absolutely no fig leaf of legality for ICE to hide behind here. This was a legal immigrant and veteran.

Agents have detained Muhammad Zahid Chaudhry, a disabled U.S. military vet and outspoken critic of U.S.-led war, after his naturalization hearing today at the Tukwila, WA ICE office. His wife, Melissa Chaudhry, ran against Rep. Adam Smith last year on a pro-Palestine platform.

Excited to be jumping on the Katie Wilson bus for Mayor!

SPD has effectively figured out a way to keep records secret from the public: First, refuse to give simple information like police reports to certain members of the media, telling them "do a PDR." Then, refuse to work on more than one request at a time, and take forever to respond.

Uh oh! In the wake of that bad, bad, primary, Bruce Harrell's endorsers are starting to jump ship. Marcus Harrison Green has the scoop: www.thestranger.com/news/2025/08...

Alexis Mercedes Rinck is spending her Saturday going to neighborhood centers her amendment would restore to the Comp Plan, talking to community members about their housing stories. Joined them in N Capitol Hill (Roanoke) and then tagged along by bike as they went to the next one, in Seward Park.

Katie Wilson is over 50% in Friday's progressive-leaning ballot drop. She has won the primary election decisively over incumbent Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell, who trails by 8.4 points.

End Israel’s starvation of Palestinian journalists in Gaza! From Nahed Hajjaj, who posted this yesterday:

I’m thinking this morning about all the people who I thought were pro-housing & pro-transit who endorsed Bruce Harrell, who hasn’t lifted a finger for either in his whole career, and wondering if any of them will have the integrity to admit that they made a mistake in pursuit of access & influence.

Go Katie!! And I spy @jessaminea.bsky.social and me in the background!

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!

I knew I voted for the right candidate when I ran into @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social’s husband and child on the light rail leaving the election night party. Can’t wait to have you as our next mayor, Katie!

The mood is jubilant at Katie Wilson's primary election night party. Wilson is leading Harrell 46.2% to 44.8% in early results.

In an alternate reality, separated by ~8k votes in 2023: Councilmembers Ron Davis, Maren Costa, Andrew Lewis, Alex Hudson, and Tammy Morales celebrate passing Alt 5 comp plan. Sara Nelson and Cathy Moore, sidelined, complain to each other about civility. Even-year elections when?

One of the biggest declines in local tax revenues has been from the sales tax, mostly due to a dramatic decline in construction permits. This includes permits for new housing—less new housing (built by those ever-demonized developers) leads directly to funding shortfalls for the city.
