[VOTE YES 645 @voteyes645]

Small business layoffs and canceled projects - Olympia's illegal income tax is already having an impact on long-term planning.

One Seattle firm has seen its revenue drop by more than 50% amid uncertainty over the tax.

“It’s past time for public employees to do the public’s business in public.” With CMs and their staff working in-person, the Leg. Dept.'s needs have changed and this is the best way to do our job for the people of Seattle.

@ChrisDaniels_TV It’s ludicrous. In all the right ways…..

[Chris Daniels @ChrisDaniels_TV]

Stunning display from a sitting Seattle Council member:

Sara Nelson: “Where is Tammy Morales”?

Nelson, standing in Little Saigon, says she needs four pro-public safety councilmembers or “nothing will change”.

Tanya Woo is running against Morales and is here.

She’s never cared about facts.

[Change Washington @ChangeWash]

As SEA City Council considers @cmkshama latest rent control measure a @SeaTimesOpinion states it would reduce further the city's housing supply (thus increase housing costs) and will "increasing the commute time and carbon footprint" of SEA residents.

That so many incumbents are leaving is a sign, before any votes are counted, that this city election might be different than the idea battles of years past. | Danny Westneat https://t.co/WsTQHXAaHB

Thanks to @editorpublisher for giving this recovering journalist the opportunity to share what I’ve learned since leaving the news business and offer a bit of advice. https://t.co/Rq2WJqjWOO

[Joy Hollingsworth @JoyForSeattle]

I am grateful for the Mayor’s support and look forward to working with him to take on public safety concerns I hear from neighbors and neighborhood businesses, housing challenges facing seniors, families, and young people 👇🏾👇🏾

[Sara E Nelson @SaraENelson]

Thank you @MayorofSeattle for putting forward the Downtown Activation Plan!

I'm fully committed to supporting legislation and investments that come through my Economic Development committee.

[Mayor Katie B. Wilson @MayorofSeattle]

Today, I joined civic, community, business, social service, and neighborhood leaders to announce the details of our Downtown Activation Plan, a comprehensive approach to revitalize our city center and build the downtown of the future that lives up to our #OneSeattle values.

[Sara E Nelson @SaraENelson]

This is URGENT and Council has one job: adopt state law into the municipal code so we can incentivize treatment and reduce the drug crisis's harms on our communities. Then it’s up to the Mayor and City Attorney, working with our partners, to operationalize city code.

[john murray @jmurraydc]

Facts are rarely a concern these days…..and results rarer.

[john murray @jmurraydc]

Well at least there’s a clear choice for next election.

[Chris Daniels @ChrisDaniels_TV]

BREAKING:

The Seattle Council votes 5-4 to reject the drug criminalization legislation and codify the new state law.

Lewis flipped.

Strauss, Pedersen, Juarez, Nelson voted for it.
