Episode Details

Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson is apologizing for the city’s delayed and inaccurate communication after a deadly shooting at the Bite of Seattle festival, where the first official update didn’t arrive until 11 PM — five hours after the attack began. Wilson admitted she didn’t realize how little info had been shared and vowed to fix it, while acknowledging public frustration over the slow response and misleading statements, including an early claim of two suspects in custody. The governor, who was in contact by 7:41 PM and offered to arrive, was turned away by officials citing an active scene — but later attended the 11 PM presser. Wilson says new protocols are being implemented to ensure faster, clearer updates in future emergencies.
