Somewhere, Bruce Harrell is slamming a table. Katie Wilson is up by 1,976 votes and 0.72 percent of the vote. It’s tight, but we’re outside of recount territory, and it’s mathematically impossible for Harrell to catch up. Katie Wilson will be Seattle’s next mayor.

          It really sums it up. She can lead progressives into future victories or cost us in the future

          That’s what like the 6th Mayor Seattle voted for then they still ended up as a fuck up. They really know how to pick a winner whose career in politics literally ends in Seattle.

            I think when the only options on the ballot are corporate stooges, the electorate getting buyer’s remorse isn’t exactly surprising.
