Activists stated that the city should invest money in community-based public safety programs such as CARE and mental health support, and never trust AXON or any of the vendors again.

Over 3 months now, and no written response after April 7th virtual town hall where @mayorofseattle.bsky.social committed to responding to all of these community questions.

Mayor Katie Wilson will make an announcement on surveillance cameras tomorrow that a source says will include turning off the cameras at the stadium now the World Cup Games hare are over.

I haven't talked much about it publicly, but I provided oversight to Nordstroms deployment of Axon body-cameras Tomorrow I'll share my biggest lessons from that experience, because people need to understand how little Axon, Flock, and the police, give a shit about our digital privacy and safety

Organizers are urging Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson to turn off police surveillance cameras as soon after the final World Cup game in Seattle today. Wilson, who opposed the cameras during her campaign, said the city had identified a "credible threat" that justified turning them on.

This is especially important. Remember the UW research that’s been tracking how ICE is able to stalk and kidnap people here in WA? There has been a very large uptick in kidnappings. The data is coming from DOL. cops have access to this system. Cameras and other surveillance help ICE.

This Week on PubliCola: June 27, 2026 Discouraging homelessness numbers, SPD hiring debate, King County budget shenanigans, and much more.

The only BAD DOG🗞️ at the Freemont Dog Parade today was a police robodog (with camera head) and two camera drones. @mayorofseattle.bsky.social turn the cameras off now, or where does this stop?! In less than an hour we got over 100 signatures. More and more momentum every week! Wilson, please! 💅

genuinely confused why everyone, from the Stranger to the Seattle Times, is dutifully reporting that Mayor Katie Wilson announced a "new approach" at12th and Jackson. The approach (announced via blot post) is the same as always: Hot spot policing, move some services there, the problems move a block.

Standing up to Trump’s authoritarianism means standing together, not just on one day, but in the months and years to come. As mayor, I’ll build coalitions to keep us safe, protect our democracy, and make sure we all can thrive in Seattle, no matter your income or identity.
