Official account of Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson. Community organizer, coalition builder, and Mayor of Seattle. This is your city — let's make it a great place to live, work, and raise a family. View the City’s digital policies at seattle.gov/digital.
- As a parent, my heart is broken. No family should ever have to experience this kind of loss.
- I was flying home from DC when I got the terrible news about the shootings in Rainier Beach this evening. I am heartbroken by the loss of two young Seattleites with their whole lives ahead of them. 1/2
- Yesterday, Rico Quirindongo, director of @seattleopcd.bsky.social & deputy mayor Brian Surratt spoke at City Hall, celebrating our office's release of the Centers and Corridors zoning proposal to @council.seattle.gov .
- Today I announced an initial set of actions to protect city residents in the face of increased federal immigration enforcement activity. #thisisyourcity
- I know it must have been tough for @mayor.lacity.gov to watch the @seahawksofficial.com fulfill my prediction and beat the @losangelesrams.bsky.social on Sunday, but I think this is quite a generous consolation prize: a sample of three world-class coffees from Seattle’s amazing Boon Boona Coffee!
- Thank you to the 100s of people who joined my transition committee's Standing Up for Our Values town hall last night. Community accountability matters & I am so grateful to all the people who spoke up about how we can best protect our community from a hostile federal government. #thisisyourcity
- We're going to get out the red paint on Denny Way. #thisisyourcity
- I’m horrified by the news this morning out of Minneapolis.
- That feeling when you’re a transit rider and Sound Transit is about to connect Seattle to the Eastside by rail. #thisisyourcity
- I'm taking immediate action to help bring people inside. #thisisyourcity
- Seattle is home to one of the nation’s largest annual MLK Day events, and I was honored to be there with my daughter this year. The national political climate is tough, but here in our city, the sense of warmth and community were strong. (1/2)
- My heart goes out to the victims of last night’s shooting, their families, and to the entire CID community, which has experienced far too many of these tragedies in recent years. (1/2)
- I know what it feels like when people come together towards a common vision, and that’s what the Seahawks are doing. Longtime 12s, people who just started paying attention a few weeks ago, everyone rooting for the same thing: beat San Francisco and make us all proud! #gohawks
- Excited to announce 2 executive orders at my transition team meeting. My Shelter and Housing Accelerator order will speed efforts to rapidly bring people inside. And my Transit Accelerator order will finally implement a bus lane on Denny. More details on my blog at wilson.seattle.gov #thisisyourcity

- I really appreciated this piece in the South Seattle Emerald on what people want to see from my administration, and I'd love to hear from you too. Reply or send a message letting me know your own hopes & expectations for what our city can accomplish in the days and years ahead. #thisisyourcity
- This morning, I visited the site of an encampment in Ballard that was scheduled to be removed because I wanted to understand in detail for myself what’s working and not working in our current approach. I decided to extend the deadline. Read more: wilson.seattle.gov/2026/01/14/m...
- I joined today’s ICE Out vigil to grieve for Renee Nicole Good & the many others who have lost their lives to ICE. To mourn. And to organize too. To everyone who makes Seattle home: this is your city, and you belong here. You deserve to be safe here. And together, we’ll fight to make it so.
- This is your city. Everyone should be safe in their homes, in their workplaces, and in our community. I’m determined to make it that way. Find immigration response resources at @washindivisble and at bit.ly/IRRP. #thisisyourcity #seattle www.instagram.com/mayorofseatt...
- It's a new era at City Hall. And as Cynthia Anne Green said at the inauguration on Friday: "Seattle can hope again." I'm so honored to be your mayor, and I'm so excited about all the amazing things we can accomplish together. 📷by Sarah Kusz
- It was wonderful to celebrate the swearing in of CM Foster, CM Rinck, and City Attorney Evans, and to welcome CM Hollingsworth as City Council President. You can feel the energy at City Hall, and I just know we are going to accomplish great things together. #thisisyourcity
- 💙💚 Seattle, this one felt GOOD. 💚💙 Huge congratulations to the Seattle Seahawks on an absolutely dominating win and locking up the #1 seed. YOUR CITY will be loud. The 12s are ready. We are all in. Let’s bring that energy all the way through the playoffs. Go Hawks! 💙💚
- This is your city — that means that you belong here, you have a right to be here and to live a dignified life, whatever your background and whatever your income. wilson.seattle.gov/2026/01/02/m...
- In this time of reflection as 2025 comes to an end, I want to again express my gratitude to the people of Seattle for allowing me to serve our city as your mayor. It has been the honor of my lifetime. Wishing everyone a safe, joyful, and happy New Year.

- Seattle and the surrounding region may be impacted by high winds and a strong atmospheric river event this week that will bring heavy rain. Plan ahead and know what to do in case of flooding, landslides, or other impacts: harrell.seattle.gov/2025/12/09/d...
- This job does not belong to one person, it certainly didn’t belong to me. I simply borrowed the title of the mayor to enjoy a wonderful opportunity to serve the people. And it’s been my absolute honor to serve in this role. Thank you for helping me build One Seattle, together.
- This #VeteransDay, Seattle is honoring the brave men and women who have served our nation with courage and dedication. Our country is forever grateful for your sacrifices and commitment to protect our freedoms.

- Seattle was honored to host the Cascadia Innovation Corridor Conference, bringing together leaders from the U.S. and Canada to advance a shared vision for a more connected, innovative, and resilient region.
- We’re taking a major step forward in reimagining public safety. With a new agreement, the CARE Department will expand as a civilian alternative for many 911 calls—ensuring the right response at the right time. Together, we’re building a safer, stronger Seattle. www.seattletimes.com/opinion/edit...
- Seattle’s Priority Hire program has expanded access to family-wage careers in construction for underserved communities. We remain committed to building a city where everyone – regardless of their zip code or background – can access job opportunities and thrive. harrell.seattle.gov/2025/10/15/m...
- Seattle is providing $8 million in emergency food assistance to support local food banks and meal services during the federal SNAP funding uncertainty. Find resources for those in need and ways to help for those who can: seattle.gov/food-assistance
- I joined @jayapal.house.gov at our City of Seattle resource fair to support federal workers impacted by the Republican shutdown — connecting people with food and resources. While the Trump administration abandons its responsibility to keep families fed, Seattle is stepping up.
- Honored to join the Manufacturing Maritime Industrial Association to celebrate Seattle’s maritime, manufacturing, logistics, and industrial sectors. These industries drive growth, innovation, and opportunity, and is essential to a strong, resilient economy for our city.
- Happy #Halloween, Seattle! 🎃 As families and trick-or-treaters fill our neighborhoods tonight, please remember to drive slowly, stay alert, and look out for one another. Let’s make this a fun, festive, and safe evening for everyone!
- Excited to join community members to celebrate the opening of a new City-owned tree nursery in Crown Hill! With space for 1,000 trees annually, this is a key milestone in building a greener, healthier, and more sustainable Seattle for generations. harrell.seattle.gov/2025/10/30/m...
- Federal law enforcement officials operating in Seattle are not above our laws. The Trump administration’s use of masked, unidentified agents to enforce their inhumane deportation agenda erodes accountability and spreads fear in our communities. harrell.seattle.gov/2025/10/29/m...
- Join us for the One Seattle Graffiti Plan Paint Jam with Sire! 🗓️ Nov 1 & 2, 2025 ⏰ 10AM-6PM 📍 Sturgus Park (904 Sturgus Ave. S, Seattle, WA 98144) All ages, all skill levels, and everyone welcome! Let’s paint the FUTURE together in a safe, fun, and inspiring space.
- Seattle stands firm in protecting local control, safety, and trust. Fear and intimidation have no place in governance. I signed two EOs — ensuring transparency in federal immigration enforcement & preserving local control of our law enforcement resources. stateline.org/2025/10/22/t...
- I am proud to share that @seattlepolicedept.bsky.social is on track to hire more than 150 new officers in 2025, marking our strongest recruitment year yet. Restoring staffing means stronger neighborhood presence and better investigations. spdblotter.seattle.gov/2025/10/27/t...
