I am more hopeful than ever that we can make tangible progress on homelessness & bring people inside this year. Thank you to City Council for working in partnership on this important legislation. www.king5.com/article/news...

Grab your helmets, wheels, or running shoes and head to Lake Washington this summer!

100 days in, and we're just getting started! This is your city -- let's make it the best place in the country to live, work, and raise a family.

We have to aspire to something higher than pushing an encampment around the corner so it’s a problem for a different block.

Seattle is coming together to open new shelters with wrap-around services citywide. Thank you to everyone who joined tonight's community briefing on my shelter expansion plan. I was pleased to announce our first new site in Interbay, and the acceleration of Glassyard Commons & Brighton Village.

Seattle is ready to build more shelters with wrap-around services so everyone can have a safe place to sleep inside. Join my community briefing Wednesday evening, 6pm at the Bertha Knight Landes Room in City Hall to get an update on where we're at, and be part of the solution.

I had a few minutes in between speaking out in support of our co-op preschools and celebrating the grand opening of the Wallingford Food Bank. What a beautiful day to soak in some sun at Green Lake!

Rent is high enough, and junk fees make it worse. Triss was one of the almost 9,000 people who filled out my Mayoral Renter's Survey, and I invited her to spend some with me to share her experiences. www.youtube.com/shorts/LV-KF...

Survey deadline extended to April 3! 🗣️ West Seattle & Delridge neighbors! We're planning for growth and livability around future light rail stations and we want to hear from you. Let us know what your neighborhood priorities and ideas are by taking our survey. survey.alchemer.com/s3/8694303/f...

We need to go taller, denser, and faster. That's why we're taking bold steps to meet the scale of our housing crisis by combining and accelerating the next phases of Seattle’s Comprehensive Plan.

As a lifelong transit rider and longtime transit organizer, I was one of thousands who helped get ST3 passed. As your Mayor, I'm going to make sure we get it across the finish line. (1/3)

"We are deeply concerned about gun violence in Seattle’s Chinatown-International District, and devastated that two teenagers were the victims. Incidents like this are a painful reminder of the ongoing impact of gun violence on our communities." @mayorofseattle.bsky.social @cmeddielin.bsky.social

Taller, denser, faster. I was excited to announce at @housingconsortium.org's annual event yesterday that we're going to combine and accelerate Phases 3 and 4 of Seattle's comprehensive plan to achieve more housing near transit and in and around our growth centers.

New render: what Pike Place Market could look like by the FIFA Men's World Cup in June. Following the successful 2025 pilot, we're considering new barriers to support a secure experience for people & businesses inside the market: https://sdotblog.seattle.gov/2026/03/26/pike-place-market-barriers/

Seattle can't wait to welcome our Sonics back home. The city is ready, the fans are ready, the arena is ready, and I could not be more excited about what's next. www.seattletimes.com/sports/sonic...

Join me and South Seattle Emerald Executive Director Florangela Davila for a town hall on security and surveillance, and what it means for our communities.

Today I announced my decision on how to proceed with the city's surveillance pilot project. I'll also be holding a town hall event next Friday at Town Hall Seattle (more details to come). wilson.seattle.gov/2026/03/19/m...

I am aware of the reports from the U-District about a woman who was detained by federal authorities and separated from her small child who is currently with CPS. 1/3

First snow day as mayor! Great to start it with a morning run through our beautiful Arboretum.

Congratulations to the Rainier Beach High School boys basketball team on a dominant run to their eleventh state championship, their tenth under Coach Mike Bethea. You made our city Super proud. Good luck at the national tournament starting on March 18th!

We're moving faster than ever to rapidly open new shelter and emergency housing, and I need your help to make it happen. Visit the form to sign up, stay informed, and be a part of the solution. Neighbor by neighbor, we can do this.

Thank you to the community leaders on my transition team who worked for months gathering feedback from more than 1,000 people about their issues, priorities, and dreams for the city. Check out the full transition report and recommendations here: www.seattle.gov/mayor/transi...

SDOT worked closely with Alliance for Pioneer Square to move this long-planned connection forward. Read more about it here: sdotblog.seattle.gov/2026/02/26/p...

It was great to be at the grand opening of Olympic Hills Village, where 45 tiny houses will serve as enhanced shelter for individuals, couples, and people with pets. We are accelerating pathways to shelters like this as rapidly as we can, because everyone should have a warm bed to go to at night.

Today is the last day to take the Mayor's Renter Survey! Help inform the future Seattle renters need. Because you have better things to spend your money on than junk fees. wilson.seattle.gov/2026/02/06/m... #thisisyourcity

Yesterday I signed two ordinances sponsored by CM Lin that eliminate out of date regulatory barriers and speed the permitting process. This will accelerate development timelines by as much as five to twelve months, helping us move more quickly to build the housing and shelter we need.

ICYMI: Earlier this morning, @mayorofseattle.bsky.social Katie B. Wilson delivered her first State of the City address from the historic Langston Hughes Performing Arts Institute. Watch and hear her vision for the City!

Last week I was honored to kick off the House our Neighbors State of Social Housing celebration. With $115 million flowing in, the Seattle Social Housing Developer will deliver the mixed-income, permanently affordable, publicly-owned housing that Seattle voted for. @houseourneighbors.bsky.social

Seattle Renters: join the fight for affordability! We are extending the deadline for the Seattle Renter’s Survey to February 20 and we want to hear from as many different communities as possible. Find all survey links below. English: forms.office.com/g/B1K37QsKt

The streets in front of City Hall are looking pretty packed full of blue & green and I can't wait to be part of the parade up 4th Avenue. Look out for me in the vintage metro bus! #gohawks #thisisyourcity

As we work to make housing more affordable, renters across the city need to keep speaking out. That’s why today we’re launching our Mayoral Renter’s Survey. forms.office.com/g/B1K37QsKtf www.instagram.com/reel/DUY32i7...

As a parent, my heart is broken. No family should ever have to experience this kind of loss.

I was flying home from DC when I got the terrible news about the shootings in Rainier Beach this evening. I am heartbroken by the loss of two young Seattleites with their whole lives ahead of them. 1/2

Yesterday, Rico Quirindongo, director of @seattleopcd.bsky.social & deputy mayor Brian Surratt spoke at City Hall, celebrating our office's release of the Centers and Corridors zoning proposal to @council.seattle.gov .

Today I announced an initial set of actions to protect city residents in the face of increased federal immigration enforcement activity. #thisisyourcity

I know it must have been tough for @mayor.lacity.gov to watch the @seahawksofficial.com fulfill my prediction and beat the @losangelesrams.bsky.social on Sunday, but I think this is quite a generous consolation prize: a sample of three world-class coffees from Seattle’s amazing Boon Boona Coffee!

Thank you to the 100s of people who joined my transition committee's Standing Up for Our Values town hall last night. Community accountability matters & I am so grateful to all the people who spoke up about how we can best protect our community from a hostile federal government. #thisisyourcity

We're going to get out the red paint on Denny Way. #thisisyourcity

I’m horrified by the news this morning out of Minneapolis.

That feeling when you’re a transit rider and Sound Transit is about to connect Seattle to the Eastside by rail. #thisisyourcity

I'm taking immediate action to help bring people inside. #thisisyourcity

Seattle is home to one of the nation’s largest annual MLK Day events, and I was honored to be there with my daughter this year. The national political climate is tough, but here in our city, the sense of warmth and community were strong. (1/2)

My heart goes out to the victims of last night’s shooting, their families, and to the entire CID community, which has experienced far too many of these tragedies in recent years. (1/2)
