Weekend Listen: City Council President Sara Nelson says goodbye
Today, we’re bringing you the best from another KUOW show, Soundside. A lot has changed during Sara Nelson’s time in Seattle government. She was a centrist outlier on a progressive city council when she was first elected in 2021. But the dynamics changed: Nelson ended up running the show as council president, after a moderate slate of candidates swept the 2023 election. Now - her time in office is coming to an end. Next month, there will be a new, more progressive representative in the citywide Position 9 seat that Nelson’s held the past four years. Nonprofit leader Dionne Foster will take Nelson’s place after winning by a wide margin of votes in November. Last week, Nelson spent an hour with Soundside to reflect on her tenure and the direction Seattle politics is moving.
