Seattle Mayor’s Recall Heads to Court | Seattle News

Published 3 days, 10 hours ago
Description

Seattle’s Mayor Katie Wilson faces a major political test as a recall petition heads to court on August 31st — the first critical hurdle in a long, uphill battle. If the judge approves, petitioners have 180 days to collect over 69,000 valid signatures from registered voters. But history shows recalls rarely succeed here: Seattle hasn’t seen a successful recall vote since 1975, and no mayor has been ousted since 1931. The odds are steep, but this hearing could set the stage for a historic moment — or another footnote in Seattle’s political playbook.
