The event was understated and the crowd was well behaved. The rowdiest moment was when the soft-spoken Transit Fairy stepped forward to swear Mayor Wilson in, and the people demanded they turn up her mic. 🧚🏻♀️

This is wild! Watch the whole thing!
I made a vid about Talaris's history. Not to be annoying, but any urbanist who wants to do Talaris advocacy or have an opinion about Talaris should watch this lol. This only goes until the 1970s bc then it gets spicy in a different way from there & thus requires its own vid.

Katie Wilson has officially taken the oath of office. In her speech, she pledged to fight for Seattle’s artists, activists and ordinary people who make it run, and liberate residents’ time from the grind of capitalism, saying the city should “honor what you're doing when you’re not making money.”
