Episode Details

Seattle’s mayoral recalls are rare—only three have ever succeeded in the city’s history, with the last one happening in 1931. Hiram Gill was ousted in 1911 for being too soft on crime, and Frank Edwards followed in 1931 after firing a shot at Seattle City Light. The most recent attempt came in 1975 when Wes Uhlman survived a recall vote after firing the fire chief. Now, current mayor Katie Wilson faces a recall challenge, with a judge weighing in. It’s a historic moment—but don’t expect another mayor to be kicked out anytime soon.
