Got off to a rocky start with Oklahoma City Mayor David Holt, but he praised Seattle profusely and he said he would always support our efforts to get a new Sonics team.

Early Sunday morning, a driver struck and killed a 38-year-old named Allie who was biking across Beacon Ave S. The driver fled the scene. As a lifelong cyclist who’s had my share of close calls, my heart goes out to Allie’s family and friends.

I was thrilled to meet with Mayor Michelle Wu (@mayorwu.boston.gov) today at Boston City Hall. I can't think of anyone better to learn from about what it takes to be an effective, progressive big-city mayor.

Thank you @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social for having the backs of nurses at Seattle Children’s hospital! @wsna.bsky.social @wslc.bsky.social

Thanks for having our back, @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social. Support nurses at Seattle Children's as they fight for a fair contract. Email words of support to CEO [email protected] and [email protected]

Nurses at Seattle Children’s Hospital have had our back. Now it’s time for all of us to have theirs. #thisisyourcity #wsna #seattlechildrens #nurses #faircontract

I’m so proud of the transition team we have built. On Tuesday, we kicked off the transition process in earnest. In the coming weeks, committee members will be reaching out to hundreds of people across our city, so watch your phones — they might call you!

It was such a pleasure to share my vision for the future of Seattle’s creative economy with attendees at this week’s Scenius Social alongside councilmember-elect Dionne Foster. The arts and culture community is essential to a thriving, safe, and affordable city.

Stoked to have a new interview with Katie Wilson (no relation), Seattle's new mayor, Transit Riders Union co-founder, and living proof that bold vision for (and wonky obsession with) transportation reform can win elections.

Thanks to Thom Hartmann and 91.3 KBCS for hosting me last night at Town Hall! I enjoyed sharing a little of my vision for the city, including my idea for publicly funded local media (News Notes), which got a great response from the crowd.

Our city is ready, the fans are ready, and I can't wait! FIFA World Cup is coming to Seattle, and we are so excited to be a part of the global celebration. With matches on Juneteenth and Pride, we get to show the world that in Seattle, everyone is welcome. What an incredible honor for our city!

🧣 HOT OFF THE LOOM 🧵 World soccer in Seattle may be months away, but today's gloomy weather is perfect for the official scarf.

Things got so crazy we didn't even get final score up yet 🤣 TORRENT WIN!!

What exactly will our transition team do? I wanted to take a moment to talk to you about it. #thisisyourcity

It was a joy to join Rev. Dr. Robert L. Jeffrey, Sr of New Hope Missionary Baptist Church, the Low Income Housing Institute, and other community leaders to break ground at a new affordable housing project. Over 90 families in the Central District will be housed as a result of this multi-year project

Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol made $95 million last year. His workers are striking for the bare minimum. Glad to be on the right side of the picket line with them.

We’re building a world class team to win an affordable Seattle, and we need your skills and experience! Send us your resume and a cover letter at the link in our bio by the end of the day today! #thisisyourcity

Today, I am feeling so much gratitude to so many people: family, friends, and colleagues new and old. But I am especially thankful for everyone who is fighting the good fight to make our city and our world better and more just. We’re in this together. #ThisIsYourCity

The Army veteran and husband of a former Congressional candidate has been detained by ICE since August. If he's detained much longer, he could lose his eyesight.

Big congratulations to our new King County Executive, @girmayzahilay.bsky.social! I’m so looking forward to your leadership and our work together to tackle the affordability crisis and deliver results for the people of our region. An exciting day. #thisisyourcity

Over the last ten days, we’ve turned down most national (and international) media requests in order to focus on launching our transition process into government. Our attention is on this city—we were elected to get real results, and that will be our focus for the next four years.

One of my first initiatives as mayor will be to make sure that City Hall moves in a better direction, toward a more responsive city government that delivers services to people and explains what we're doing and why. #thisisyourcity

We need trusting and effective partnerships to tackle Seattle’s most pressing challenges. From affordability to safety to transit, we’ve got a lot of work to do, and I’m glad to have a partner like Girmay in this work! #thisisyourcity

It was my profound honor to spend time last night at New Holly Gathering Hall with community organizers, leaders, and members who helped propel our campaign to victory. As I prepare to govern for all of Seattle, I look forward to continuing to deepen relationships across our city.

HON is honored that our Co-ED @tiffanimc.bsky.social is one of the transition co-chair for Mayor-Elect @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social! This is the result of our collective organizing for four years, pushing for social housing when so many believed it wasn't possible. 💕

My staff likes to say we ran a union organizing campaign: focusing on widely and deeply felt issues, sticking to our message, building solidarity, and connecting with those most impacted to propose solutions. Well, turns out MLK Labor agrees.

🎉 It's time to get to work! 🎉 I’d like to introduce my Transition Director and Co-Chairs. I ran for mayor on the vision that we can tackle big challenges, address our affordability crisis, and make our city a great place to live, work, and raise a family.

After much deliberation and a grueling interview process, I’m pleased to announce that I’ve accepted a new job and will not need any financial support from my parents to cover the high costs of childcare going forward. #AmericanDream #ThisIsYourCity

Proud to stand in solidarity with dining workers at LavishRoots, who feed Meta's campuses here in the Seattle area. The right to organize and bargain are essential to our region's economy. LavishRoots, do the right thing: agree to a fair process for union recognition by December 1st! #thisisyourcity

Thank you so much to Consul General Prakash Gupta and all the leaders in our region’s vibrant Indian diaspora community who gathered last night to welcome me and incoming King County Executive Girmay Zahilay (@girmayzahilay.bsky.social) with such warm hospitality!

Across the country, Starbucks workers are on an Unfair Labor Practice strike for a fair first contract, and I know which side I’m on. Baristas make Starbucks an extraordinarily wealthy company. They are entitled to their fair share of that wealth and to benefits and fair treatment on the job.

People care less about labels than results. I was elected on the promise that all Seattle citizens should have access to a dignified life, regardless of their background or income. #thisisyourcity youtu.be/TNvmWV78ZlM

My first formal remarks as mayor-elect: When I say, “This is your city,” I mean you have a right to be here, no matter your background. But I also mean that we have a collective responsibility to this place and each other. #thisisyourcity

We took on a powerful incumbent who was expected to coast to reelection. We faced more corporate PAC money than has ever been spent attacking a candidate in a Seattle election. We built a people-powered movement rooted in hope for our city’s future. And we won. This is YOUR city!

It is now Wikipedia official en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katie_W...

We've seen enough. Katie Wilson is the next Mayor of Seattle.

Everyone's calling it! #seaelex
