Hopefully Seattle voters will come to their senses and re-elect Harrell.

When Trump sets his sights on Seattle the last thing we need is some inexperienced ideologue, who has never held a job, sitting in the Mayor's seat.

Please Seattle re-elect Harrell, Nelson, and Davison!

Um “$3 million at play, or as much as a Leschi mansion”

That’s not buying you a mansion anywhere in Seattle (someone hasn’t been keeping up with housing prices)

“$3 million at play, or as much as a Leschi mansion”

So, Sawant's going to sell her house, and donate to the cause of progressive victory in Seattle?

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha...

Nathalie, you poor dear. Think for yourself, unless your assignment was specific, then, think about how to keep your job.

I really dislike the Stranger's "buy an election" narrative. The tacit assumption being that Seattleites are stupid. I don't know who's going to win, but I do trust the residents of this city to do what they think is best for the community.

Speaking of Sawant, I saw a sign for her for Congress in Adam Smith's district? Is that for real?

@5: Depends on how you define "real"? Has she declared a candidacy, to run against Adam Smith in the 9th CD? Yes. Will she get anywhere? Highly unlikely.

Here, skip the Stranger's fawning "news" story, and go right to us commenters, as usual telling it how it is: https://www.thestranger.com/news/2025/06/02/80084124/former-city-councilmember-sawant-announces-run-for-congress/comments

All the crazies are showing up. First, Sawant. Now, Madison Cawthorne (running in Floriduh, of course)
