Katie Wilson is likely Seattle's next mayor after latest vote count
Seattleites have been closely watching election results for nearly a week since polls closed. That’s because the city’s mayoral candidates were in a tight race. Longtime Seattle politician and current Mayor Bruce Harrell is trying to win a second term. His challenger is Katie Wilson, a Democratic socialist who has never held elected office before.
Last night’s vote tally gave more clarity about who is likely to lead the city next year.
