🎉 It's time to get to work! 🎉 I’d like to introduce my Transition Director and Co-Chairs. I ran for mayor on the vision that we can tackle big challenges, address our affordability crisis, and make our city a great place to live, work, and raise a family.

Economic blackout from Amazon, Home Depot and Target from November 27th-December 1st.
AND! FWIW: it's possible to not support these companies *at all*
But, at the very least, let's join together for the blackout on these days 👍

I’m late to the party here, but this was such a great interview with Seattle’s mayor-elect Wilson. I am so happy, excited, and proud to have her as our next mayor. I think she is going to proficiently demonstrate what strong leadership can look like.

This is exactly the headline you want to see if you're Katie Wilson. There are still some voters who were anxious about her "experience." She kept saying she'd have good, experienced people as part of the team and that's exactly what she has done. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

Covering Jamal Khashoggi's murder was one of the most disturbing things I've worked on. Hearing Trump say he was "extremely controversial" and people "didn't like him" is chilling. Hard to take any other way than he thinks there is moral ambiguity in the murder of a journalist.

Seattle owns and contracts the monorail and streetcars. Seattle has the Seattle Transit Measure. Seattle directly oversees Sound Transit. Seattle has oversight influence on King County Metro and Puget Sound Regional Council.

The disingenuous whiners at the Seattle Times ed board actually suggested that Katie Wilson—mayor-elect and the founder of the Transit Riders Union (who used to do outreach at the bus stop on Third and Union)—doesn't know that the county, not the city, runs the buses. Cry harder, losers

When you ask voters to choose between corporate profits and protecting our neighbors – it’s not even close. This year, Seattle voters chose the tax corporations to fund social housing (63%) and to pass the Seattle Shield Initiative to protect our neighbors (71%). Let’s keep it going!

Yes. We need to end the mythology that having a job equals enough money to live.
Affordability was already an emergency before Republicans voted to raise the cost of healthcare for millions, and eliminate it for millions more.
