When Erika Evans first took over as city attorney, she thought the backlog her predecessor, Ann Davison, left her was only 1,300 cases. Turns out, thanks to Davison and antiquated computer software, the real backlog number is 5,100—thousands more than expected.

BREAKING: The City Attorney's case backlog is way more dismal than originally reported. Erika Evans unearthed about 3,800 more cases left over from Ann Davison's days bringing the total backlog to 5,100 cases thestranger.com/news/2026/03...

This #BlackHistoryMonth, meet Erika Evans, an #EmergeAlum who left her federal job to fight injustice. Now she's Seattle's first Black woman City Attorney, proving our alums are making history at every level.

Updated tonight: @andyengelson.bsky.social reports for PubliCola that the city of Seattle has reached a settlement with the family of Jaahnavi Kandula, the 23-year-old killed by a speeding SPD officer, totaling at least $29 million. publicola.com/2026/02/10/c...

In 2026, while the case was on appeal, a new City Attorney took office. Newly elected City Attorney Erika Evans immediately rescinded her predecessor's policy that targeted Judge Vaddadi.

On Monday, Erika Evans was sworn in as the first Black Seattle City Attorney, following a resounding victory over Republican incumbent Ann Davison. The Seattle police guild was already on the attack, seeking to brand her soft on crime. Story: www.theurbanist.org/2026/01/07/e...

I sat down with Erika Evans last week to talk about her immediate priorities for the office, and that memo she sent that caused a real stir with right wing media: www.thestranger.com/news/2026/01...

Erika Evans, Seattle’s First Black City Attorney, Is Sworn In She Says She’ll Bring Back Seattle’s Community Court

Erika Evans has officially been sworn in as Seattle's first Black City Attorney.

New Seattle City Attorney Erika Evans, speaking at her inauguration at City Hall, says she's "already started the process of setting up a new, reimagined community court," a therapeutic court her predecessor, Republican Ann Davison, dismantled.

Seattle and King County can’t solve our biggest challenges alone. Real progress requires partnership. That’s why Erika Evans and I will team up to build safer neighborhoods, support people in crisis, and stand up for workers. But before we can get to work, we need you. Return before Tuesday!

Today's column: "You may not have heard of the Working Families Party, but of the five Seattle citywide candidates endorsed by them, at least four won their Nov. 4 general election races: Eddie Lin, Erika Evans, Dionne Foster and Alexis Mercedes Rinck."

I chatted with Erika Evans a few days ago to discuss her vision for the Seattle City Attorney's office.

Eddie Lin, Erika Evans, Dionne Foster and Alexis Mercedes Rinck were among the candidates whose campaigns were boosted by the progressive Working Families Party.

Erika Evans will begin her term as elected city attorney of Seattle on Jan. 1.

Hey #Seattle, I’m running for re-election next year! And I’m kicking off my campaign with a really fun book party 🤓📚! There will be cozy reading time! Erika Evans and I are going to talk about our plans! You can donate a kid’s book!RSVP TODAY! : secure.actblue.com/donate/12.8....

In the past fifty years of Seattle elections, the 2025 Dream Team are now the top four vote-getters of any general election campaign. The number of people who voted for that slate is greater than the total population of Skagit County.

The Rinck, Evans, and Foster campaigns are now officially ranked 2nd, 9th, and 13th, respectively, in total votes received in general elections in Seattle going back to 1973. AMR now holds the top two spots. And counting is far from done.

Seattle, together we rise.

Thank you to everyone who came through for our general campaign kickoff! Big thanks to @nickbrownnow.bsky.social @jayapal.house.gov We're going to get this done in November because we're fighters—for our values, our rights, and for justice here in Seattle. Let's go, Team!

Join @jayapal.house.gov and @nickbrownnow.bsky.social and many others to support Seattle’s next City Attorney @electerikaevans.bsky.social this Saturday from 12:30-2 pm at a Cap Hill wine shop (address provided with RSVP)!

We are deeply honored to have all four King County Councilmembers who represent parts of Seattle endorsing this campaign.

President Trump is sending troops to intimidate communities in the PNW. Seattle deserves a City Attorney who will stand up to authoritarianism—not call it "an emotional response”. As your next City Attorney, I will always fight for our rights and our city with courage and urgency. #Seattle
