There is a curious pattern here.
Bruce Harrell rarely goes above 9 press statements a month. Only 4x before this year has 13. And then in the 2 months before the primary he does 13, and then 20 in each of Sept & Oct. Coincidence or subtle misusing of public office?

The thing about Mamdani is that he’s a talented politician but not otherworldly or one in a billion, he’s just a competent guy with popular ideas who ran against an entitled piece of shit and to me it’s a lot more optimistic to imagine 1000 campaigns like his than to view him as a unique phenomenon

Bruce Harrell has been misusing public office for personal gain all year long. The SEEC hasn’t given a fu¢k. We need to get this corrupt toxic misogynist out of office ASAP
Seattle mayor Bruce Harrell was putting out at least a press release daily celebrating all the amazing things the mayor's office was doing right up until, let's see, November 3.
Nothing since then, though. Weird!

Veterans Day is Tuesday, and unlike previous years, there will not be honor guards and military service members unveiling American flags, in addition to the lack of a flyover, at the 13 NFL games on Sunday and Monday.

No military-sponsored events, including flyovers, will take place at this week's Veterans Day "Salute to Service" NFL games -- another victim of the federal government shutdown.

And don’t forget the role restaurant owners play in trying to suppress the minimum wage
If you didn’t know, Seattle restaurant owners and consultants have been fighting against street food and food truck reforms for decades.
Our regulatory environment is why until now, Seattle has not really developed a street food culture like Portland (or many other cities).

With unpermitted food vendors proliferating in King County, Washington restaurateurs are calling on the county and state to get more aggressive to deter them.
