When Seattle elected Bruce Harrell in 2021, voters were clear they wanted safer streets, housing they could afford, and far fewer people living without a home. They’re still our top concerns, and they’ve all gotten worse in the last four years. He has also presided over a city hall marked by misogyny, abuse, and a culture of contempt.
Harrell doesn’t break promises and produce abysmal results because he’s overwhelmed. It’s because fixing these problems is in direct conflict with his guiding principle to protect the powerful at any cost. The Chamber of Commerce, mansion-owners, corrupt cops, and serial sexual predators—he is their knight. We pay the price.
