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Yesterday I signed two ordinances sponsored by CM Lin that eliminate out of date regulatory barriers and speed the permitting process.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

Can't make it to today's Seattle Seahawks World Champions Parade? We've got you covered! Watch our live stream of the procession starting at 11 a.m. 📺 seattlechannel.org/watch-live

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)

I know what it feels like when people come together towards a common vision, and that’s what the Seahawks are doing. Longtime 12s, people who just started paying attention a few weeks ago, everyone rooting for the same thing: beat San Francisco and make us all proud! #gohawks

Excited to announce 2 executive orders at my transition team meeting. My Shelter and Housing Accelerator order will speed efforts to rapidly bring people inside. And my Transit Accelerator order will finally implement a bus lane on Denny. More details on my blog at wilson.seattle.gov #thisisyourcity

Earlier this morning, @mayorofseattle.bsky.social Katie B. Wilson announced two executive orders: one focused on accelerating housing and shelter solutions, and the other on improving transit with a new bus lane on Denny Way. Learn more ⬇️

I really appreciated this piece in the South Seattle Emerald on what people want to see from my administration, and I'd love to hear from you too. Reply or send a message letting me know your own hopes & expectations for what our city can accomplish in the days and years ahead. #thisisyourcity

This morning, I visited the site of an encampment in Ballard that was scheduled to be removed because I wanted to understand in detail for myself what’s working and not working in our current approach. I decided to extend the deadline. Read more: wilson.seattle.gov/2026/01/14/m...

I joined today’s ICE Out vigil to grieve for Renee Nicole Good & the many others who have lost their lives to ICE. To mourn. And to organize too. To everyone who makes Seattle home: this is your city, and you belong here. You deserve to be safe here. And together, we’ll fight to make it so.

This is your city. Everyone should be safe in their homes, in their workplaces, and in our community. I’m determined to make it that way. Find immigration response resources at @washindivisble and at bit.ly/IRRP. #thisisyourcity #seattle www.instagram.com/mayorofseatt...

It's a new era at City Hall. And as Cynthia Anne Green said at the inauguration on Friday: "Seattle can hope again." I'm so honored to be your mayor, and I'm so excited about all the amazing things we can accomplish together. 📷by Sarah Kusz

It was wonderful to celebrate the swearing in of CM Foster, CM Rinck, and City Attorney Evans, and to welcome CM Hollingsworth as City Council President. You can feel the energy at City Hall, and I just know we are going to accomplish great things together. #thisisyourcity

💙💚 Seattle, this one felt GOOD. 💚💙 Huge congratulations to the Seattle Seahawks on an absolutely dominating win and locking up the #1 seed. YOUR CITY will be loud. The 12s are ready. We are all in. Let’s bring that energy all the way through the playoffs. Go Hawks! 💙💚

This is your city — that means that you belong here, you have a right to be here and to live a dignified life, whatever your background and whatever your income. wilson.seattle.gov/2026/01/02/m...

In this time of reflection as 2025 comes to an end, I want to again express my gratitude to the people of Seattle for allowing me to serve our city as your mayor. It has been the honor of my lifetime. Wishing everyone a safe, joyful, and happy New Year.

This job does not belong to one person, it certainly didn’t belong to me. I simply borrowed the title of the mayor to enjoy a wonderful opportunity to serve the people. And it’s been my absolute honor to serve in this role. Thank you for helping me build One Seattle, together.

This #VeteransDay, Seattle is honoring the brave men and women who have served our nation with courage and dedication. Our country is forever grateful for your sacrifices and commitment to protect our freedoms.

New traffic signals at NW 51st St and 15th Ave NW in Ballard were activated this morning, creating a new connection across 15th Ave NW for people walking, biking, and rolling to & from Ballard's Brewery District and its historic downtown.

It’s official: the 15th Ave W/NW & Ballard Bridge Paving & Safety Project is now complete. This project was funded by the voter-approved 2015 Levy to Move Seattle and Seattle Transit Measure. Thank you, Seattle!
