Local media is calling it: Katie Wilson will be the next mayor of Seattle.

Wilson ousts Mayor Bruce Harrell after running as a progressive challenger.

Her win is a west coast companion to Mamdani’s as a statement victory for the left.

Wait, Ken Starr was introducing Jeffrey Epstein to Jed Rubenfeld? Rubenfeld the husband of Tiger Mom Amy Chua who was JD Vance's mentor. Rubenfeld who was later forced to take leave because of his own sexual harassment.

This is a very, very small world.
