Election 2025: Seattle mayoral candidate debate
Seattle hasn't had a two term mayor since Greg Nickels, who won a second term nearly two decades ago.
Incumbent Mayor Bruce Harrell is trying to break the streak of one term mayors. He was elected to the position in 2021. He previously served on the Seattle city council for 12 years.
His opponent is Katie Wilson. She founded the nonprofit Transit Riders Union and serves as its chair.
