How about that W!!

This team embodies the best of our city–resilience, teamwork, and belief. The Mariners are showing the world what we already know: this city knows how to compete, and we know how to win.

Let’s carry that same fire into the ALCS and beyond. Go M’s!

With a second term and stable leadership, we will: keep investing in our public safety departments to ensure kids & families are safe, expand regional efforts to connect unhoused neighbors with compassionate care and shelter, and protect our communities from attacks by the Trump administration.

MAJOR ENDORSEMENT!

Proud to receive Former US Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg’s support in my re-election.

"Mayor Bruce Harrell is delivering the positive change Seattle needs--affordable housing, safer streets, and expanded child care,” said Buttigieg.

Yesterday, I connected with South Seattle neighbors to chat about our affordable housing investments, food access initiatives, and public safety goals.

As mayor, I have laid the foundation to build a city where families feel safe and can access housing that meets their needs.

We kicked off YES Prop 1, a renewal of Seattle’s Family, Education, Preschool & Promise Levy- ensuring our children and youth thrive from cradle to career!

Your YES vote will: expand high-quality early learning & childcare, enhance K-12 support programs, and strengthen the Seattle Promise Program.

What a joy it was to officially open our Waterfront Park! I am so proud to call this ours. We are a city of natural beauty, a city of innovation, and most importantly a welcoming city.

A huge thank you to every leader, community member, and organization that helped make this dream become reality.

NAACP organized a great event - Minding My Black Owned Business! Caught up with many longtime friends.

Small businesses are the fabric of our communities, and my B&O tax proposal creates relief for businesses like these.

Thank you, Meaghan, for opening the Highland Park Corner Store! This space serves as a gathering spot for residents and provides access to food and other everyday essentials.

Meaghan is paving the way for future community-oriented small businesses to flourish in neighborhoods throughout Seattle.

My response to the Trump administration is simple: Seattle’s policies and ordinances comply with federal law.

I had the privilege of ringing the bell to open @pikeplacemarket.bsky.social a historic landmark that has shaped Seattle's identity for generations. This tradition celebrates our vibrant artisan community, supporting the crafters and small businesses who bring life and creativity to the market.

Mayor Bruce Harrell: "Trump is once again embracing authoritarianism to distract from his failure to live up to his campaign promises like bringing down prices. Under my watch, we won't let this kind of commandeering happen here in Seattle."
