with @kelabe.bsky.social closing in on Sharon Tomiko Santos after today’s drop it looks like he’ll eventually pull ahead once the more progressive Election Day votes are counted #waelex

“The attacks on Wilson instead appear to be backfiring completely and are further eroding Mayor Harrell’s standing with the Seattle electorate…Harrell had a nine point negative spread in July; this month, he has a sixteen point negative spread.” #SEAelex #WAelex

A plurality of Seattle voters favor Katie Wilson in the city's 2025 mayoral race, while 55% oppose Bruce Harrell's reelection - NPI's Cascadia Advocate

Challenger Katie Wilson has a five point lead over incumbent Mayor Bruce Harrell in the aggregate, 45% to 40%, with 11% not sure. An outright majority of likely voters say they oppose the mayor's reel...

Crystal Fincher @finchfrii.bsky.social

Sometimes a candidate gets so focused on landing a hit on their opponent that they end up criticizing something a lot of people actually live through. At that point, it’s not really an attack on their opponent. It’s an attack on voters. It makes them look small and out of touch.

I’ve said this many times but it’s worth repeating: When it comes to voting, we have an Election Day deadline. When it comes to election results, we have an Election Week. The more media sets this expectation, the less confusion and more trust we’ll have in our great vote by mail system. #waelex

After the strong progressive results in the Nov ‘24 election in Seattle, some politicos and media questioned whether it was an outlier caused by high presidential election year turnout. Tonight’s result reinforces that Seattle voters prefer progressive policies. #waelex #seaelex

This puts the Seattle mayoral election outside of recount territory! A recount is required when the race is within 2,000 votes AND 0.5%. Katie Wilson now leads Bruce Harrell by 0.72%. #waelex #SEAelex

Joe Veyera @joeveyera.bsky.social

Katie Wilson has widened her lead over Bruce Harrell to nearly 2,000 votes in Seattle's mayoral race — up more than 600 from Tuesday — following today's ballot drop that added approximately 1,650 ballots. Harrell - 136,513 (49.48%) Wilson - 138,489 (50.19%)
