A time element for the election would be nice here to understand the context. I've not lived in Seattle for 25 years, so I don't remember the cycles, and I'm too mentally exhausted to deal with a search engine.

Elections are this November. A ton of seats up. Shitty center right mayor. Shitty right wing city attorney. Shitty right wing city council president, among others.

The current city attorney was voted in 4 years ago in 2021

Can't be worse than Paul Schell.

Wasn't old enough to have any opinion of him but I just asked my dad who's been living here since '89 and he thinks our current mayor is worse lmao

Schell is the only politician I went after off campus. Locke was fucking useless, but Schell loved to fuck up at every chance he got.

And I ran the editorial board at Seattle's third-largest daily (bearing in mind the P-I was still printing), so I got to do it anonymously.
