In solidarity with community organizers who have fought to build the Graham Street Station for more than a decade, County Executive Zahilay @girmayzahilay.bsky.social and I today announced a plan to finally deliver this project to the community.

A great kick off to Bicycle Weekends this year!

This is another big step forward towards my highest priority: rapidly expanding shelter & emergency housing. Thank you to @council.seattle.gov for moving so quickly to advance this legislation, and for their continued partnership moving this work forward. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

In (the other) Washington, Republicans are peeling back consumer protections as quickly as they can. In Seattle, we are working to ensure renters and consumers have the transparency and fairness they deserve. Sign up for my Rental Junk Fee Town Hall to learn more! apnews.com/article/sena...

We're taking a first step to delivering Seattle’s number 1 and number 2 priority: creating clean, accessible, and safe public bathrooms. Today at 1pm I'll be in Pioneer Square for a toilet paper ribbon cutting to open these new facilities. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

www.youtube.com/watch?v=DXAx... I recently sat down with Seattle renters to hear directly about the challenges they're facing in today's affordability crisis. These conversations are shaping the work we're doing to make renting in Seattle more affordable, transparent, and fair.

BIG DEAL ALERT: We have @mayorofseattle.bsky.social on the podcast today!

I am so grateful that @seattlechildrens.org and the Laurelhurst Community Council found a path forward to prioritize the needs of critically ill and acutely injured children. This kind of solutions-focused partnership is what our city needs more of. www.seattlechildrens.org/media/press-...

This afternoon, @mayorofseattle.bsky.social & the Budget Director outlined state of city's budget, explained the financial landscape, how city arrived here, & the key decisions ahead. Moderated by @callananseattle.bsky.social, the discussion also included questions submitted by community members.

I want to see Sound Transit putting shovels in the ground on West Seattle this year, I want us to get clarity on the timeline for building to Ballard, and I want us to stop the delay and construct Graham Street – and I’ll be pushing to see that happen.

My live budget discussion is less than an hour away on seattlechannel.org ! Send your questions to [email protected] with the subject line "Budget questions." You can submit your Qs ahead, or live during the show.

I'm pleased to share continued progress on my top priority of rapidly expanding shelter with wraparound services. Today I'm announcing a new lease, a new partnership, and continued legislative momentum. wilson.seattle.gov/2026/05/07/c...

Live on Seattle Channel at 2:45 on Thursday 5/7 (tomorrow!) Brian Callanan will host Mayor Wilson and Budget Director Aly Pennucci for a discussion about the state of the city budget: what we're looking at, how we got here, and the choices we're facing. We'll take your questions too...

Living on $60K shouldn't mean 5 roommates just to get by. I'm advancing an affordability agenda that's taking on junk fees, building housing, and investing in the creative economy. The people who make our city vibrant should be able to afford to live here, too. www.seattletimes.com/business/liv...

Across the region, we're hearing the same thing: renters want protections against excessive fees, unsafe conditions, and enforcement that actually works. This story from Tacoma shows just how squeezed renters are. We're taking this on to make rent more transparent and strengthen renter protections.

Shortly following my announcement of new investments in Seattle’s children and families today, we heard gunfire. No one was injured, but it was a stark reminder of a reality too many people in this city live with every day.

Bus Lane... or SCANDAL? 😱

The Route 8 is one of my favorite buses. And pretty soon it's going to finally move fast enough to reliably outrace a turtle at rush hour. 🐢 @fixthel8.bsky.social youtube.com/shorts/7Yw0t...

Scandals aren't fun, but this stuff is a part of being mayor. I take full responsibility for my pronunciation, but I want to clarify that I absolutely did not purchase the jacket after shopping at Pike’s Place. mynorthwest.com/kiro-radio/k...

The ruling against Live Nation & Ticketmaster puts a spotlight on how hidden fees drive up costs. From concert tickets to rent, companies are playing games to try & get away with charging even more than what they advertise upfront -- and those costs are high enough already.

Addressing homelessness is my highest priority, and I have serious concerns about KCRHA’s management of city funds. We need to take swift action to protect public dollars. All options are on the table. wilson.seattle.gov/2026/04/22/a...

The bus lane is rightfully taking center stage but I simply must highlight another thing: the Route 8 will be getting a ton more SERVICE in August immediately after the red paint goes in. 15 minute headways throughout the day are going to 12.

“I promised we would move quickly to make transit move more quickly, and that’s exactly what we’re doing” - Katie Wilson We’re THRILLED that Route 8 is FINALLY getting bus lanes and will be the fast frequent and reliable connection transit riders deserve.

In my Mayoral Renter's Survey, thousands of Seattle renters told me that their landlords use Ratio Utility Billing Systems, and my own apartment building recently switched to RUBS too. Thank you to all the tenants organizing for affordability and accountability. www.seattletimes.com/business/rea...

For your playlist ahead of the big bus lane announcement today 🚌🎶 youtu.be/AxvDoBD6_vk?...

It is important to know that the City of Seattle has not authorized nor permitted any new data centers. However, the prospect of massive new data centers being built in Seattle has raised understandably intense public alarm. wilson.seattle.gov/2026/04/18/s... 1/3

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! Seattle Parks & Recreation (@seattleparksandrec.bsky.social) is bringing Bicycle Weekends to Lake Washington Boulevard every weekend this year from Memorial Day through Labor Day. wilson.seattle.gov/2026/04/13/m...

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.

Reporting for duty 🫡

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.

“Having a car should not be a requirement to building a life of one’s choosing.” 🚶 🚴‍♀️ 🚌 🚆 -Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson at the Sound Transit Crosslake Light Rail Opening

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...
