I am honored to be endorsed for City Attorney by former three-term Seattle Mayor Charley Royer. Under his leadership, Seattle became known as one of the best managed cities in the US. I enjoy listening to him talk of what Seattle is facing now and what Seattle needs.

The daily turmoil on Seattle streets is the product of a complicated systems failure due to a shortage of substance-abuse treatment and affordable housing, writes Dorothy Bullitt in an Op-Ed. st.news/33gZdiY

@KromanDavid will Crosscut offer more coverage on LEAD, given significant funding boost in budget? Deputy Mayor Fong’s 10/29/19 letter outlines legit questions/concerns that press has largely ignored to date. Asking from Ballard.

We added another 47,564 votes in this count, bringing us to a total of 179,095 votes added to results today. We are estimating another 6,300 left to count - a rough rough estimate of 2,500 in Seattle.

Scary moments this afternoon when a man jumped the fence into the KIRO parking garage then broke several windows to gain access into our building. He broke another door window before @SeattlePD came and arrested him. Nobody was injured but shaken up.

It's interesting to compare the outcry over Amazon spending in Seattle City Council races to the relative crickets about Amazon spending to defeat #i976. It gives the appearance that Seattle progressives don't care about corporate spending - as long as it supports their efforts.
Corporate donations have become a flashpoint in Seattle City Council races. But businesses have also shelled out almost $3 million trying to defeat I-976, Tim Eyman's latest car-tab initiative. crosscut.com/2019/11/amazon-… #waleg #waelex

Thank you @SeattleFire crew. Glad you are coming home safe 🤗🚒🚨
This hard-working wildland crew is on their way home from California. The Kincade Fire where the King County Strike Team spent time working is reported to be 80% contained. Thank you for helping California residents and responders during this devastating time. #WAthinkingofCA

Only 18.9% turnout in King County so far. I still have faith, but yikes.
Debate in the #Q13FOX newsroom about voter turnout. My colleagues think I'm being overly optimistic:
Seattle: 50%+
Statewide: 40%+

I have to say, talking to Mr. Williams was quite emotional. He did everything the system asked of him and because of that, he lost his apartment. @dorothy_edwards did such an amazing job capturing him it takes my breath away.

When an unsheltered person dies, “there’s hardly a ripple,” says Rex Hohlbein, a homeless advocate.
“They’re invisible. Whether they were there yesterday or not, you don’t see them. Their connections are few and rarely outside the homeless community.” st.news/2KVppti

Washington is in the middle of a meth crisis, and no interventions seem to work very well.
