Overview

• Katie Wilson finished the nonpartisan primary with about 46% of the vote to incumbent Bruce Harrell’s 45%, securing both spots on the Nov. 4 ballot.
• Harrell touts endorsements from over 100 current and former elected officials, labor unions and community leaders following his tenure on the City Council and as mayor since 2021.
• Wilson has raised roughly $475,000 through grassroots networks and has centered her campaign on transit expansion, wage increases and a pledge to “Trump-proof” Seattle.
• Harrell leads in fundraising with just over $500,000 and emphasizes more than $1 billion invested in affordable housing and public safety improvements under his administration.
• Both campaigns are sharpening policy contrasts on homelessness, housing affordability and public transit access ahead of the Nov. 4 vote.
