In a vote that Councilmember Tammy Morales called a “foregone conclusion,” the city council appointed Tanya Woo to fill the vacant Position 8 council seat on Tuesday. Woo—a Chinatown-International District activist who recently led a successful campaign to stop the expansion of a Salvation Army shelter in SoDo—lost to District 2 (Southeast Seattle) incumbent Tammy Morales in November; now, she’ll represent the entire city.
They need to replace Sawant next…😜😂
Kshama Sawant did not run for re-election during the last election cycle. Her seat is now filled by Joy Hollingsworth who was elected in Nov 2023.
