Looking forward to working with our new City Attorney!
New Seattle City Attorney Erika Evans, speaking at her inauguration at City Hall, says she's "already started the process of setting up a new, reimagined community court," a therapeutic court her predecessor, Republican Ann Davison, dismantled.

After an ICE apprehension in New Holly, neighbors organized door-to-door outreach to share "Know Your Rights" info and build safety through community. Organizers say connection, not fear, keeps people protected.

Early Sunday morning, a driver struck and killed a 38-year-old named Allie who was biking across Beacon Ave S. The driver fled the scene. As a lifelong cyclist who’s had my share of close calls, my heart goes out to Allie’s family and friends.

I was so sad to hear about the death of a cyclist due to a hit-and-run on Beacon Ave. Allie was a beloved community member, avid biker, & advocate for safer transit & streets. My condolences to their family and friends. But condolences are hollow if we don’t take action to prevent the next tragedy.

The person who was killed last night crossing Beacon Ave on a bike by a hit-and-run driver was named Allie. They were described as a "hard-core cyclist."

The vigil/protest is expected to take over Beacon and Stevens until midnight, if SPD lets that happen.

I am incredibly honored to represent the south end in City Hall. Working families are struggling, but we have an opportunity and responsibility to decrease the cost of housing and childcare, improve access to fresh food, and provide a safe, nurturing space for students in Seattle schools.
