Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell on city budgets, the comprehensive plan, and more
Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell is running for re-election in 2025.
He’s hoping to break the long running streak of single term mayors in Seattle like Mike McGinn, Ed Murray, and Jenny Durkin.
The election is still nearly a year away, and in the meantime, the mayor will finish the last year of his term addressing a long list of issues: public safety, the future of downtown, and the implementation of a new comprehensive plan.
The mayor sat down with Soundside host Libby Denkmann to discuss his plans for 2025.
