In this episode, we take a closer look at Mayor Bruce Harrell's proposed ban on anti-competitive covenants in grocery and pharmacy leases—a move aimed at preventing future food deserts. Is this a genuine step toward saving grocery stores and pharmacies, or, as Erica argues, a form of political posturing in the midst of a mayoral election?We also broaden the discussion to consider alternative solutions, with Sandeep suggesting a re-evaluation of design review processes as a more effective lever for lowering costs and sustaining local businesses. David highlights the critical ideological divide here between Harrell and challenger Katie Wilson, whose socialist-sounding stance on publicly backed grocery stores offers a stark contrast to Harrell's market-oriented approach on remedying food deserts. Whereas Wilson wants the government more involved in the private sector, Harrell would reserve public dollars for things like food assistance.    We also discuss turbulence within the King County Regional Homelessness Authority, based on Erica's reporting about accusations of mismanagement and racism against its CEO, Kelly Kennison. This segment unpacks the broader debate about the organization's efficacy and future. We come back to a question we've discussed before: is it time to pull the plug on the KCRHA? Finally, we talk about Mayor Harrell's campaign criticism of Katie Wilson's experience, with Erica challenging the tone and substance of Harrell's attacks.Quinn Waller is our editor. Send us a text!

This week we take the patented Seattle Nice deep dive into Bruce Harrell's proposed nearly $9 billion budget, examining the Seattle mayor's priorities as he's fighting for his political life in what's turned into a tough election year for him.  David points out how various local media outlets, from KIRO to our own Erica C. Barnett's Publicola framed the budget news through their own lenses. The discussion also highlights the budget's strategic rollout, with Sandeep noting the mayor's reliance on a "slick, produced, 15-minute video" in lieu of a traditional speech.We then get into criticism of the budget, which assumes both sales and B&O tax increases and prioritizes spending on new police hires and, in the face of Trump threats, immigrant and refugee assistance and other supports. Erica criticizes the mayor for boosting spending for what will be ongoing programs with one time dollars, saying he is avoiding tough choices and leaving substantial  projected out-year deficits. She argues he should have worked harder to cut the police budget in particular. Sandeep echoes Erica's concerns about a lack of fiscal discipline but says his concern extends to potential wasteful spending in all city departments and not just the cops. He also argues the mayor missed a political opportunity by not proposing more bold, innovative ideas. We also get into the King County Council's recent ban on rent-setting software like RealPage to try and prevent algorithmic price fixing, which follows on the heels of a similar City ban. Finally, the podcast concludes with some back and forth about political endorsements, and specifically the “odd timing” of Pete Buttigieg's backing of Mayor Harrell.  Our editor is Quinn Waller.Send us a text!

After a few marathon public comment sessions last week, the Seattle City Council is considering the final version of a comprehensive plan. This is the document that dictates where and how the city will grow over the next two decades. Over the last week, balancing tree canopy with growth emerged as one of the most controversial issues in the plan. And there’s a history here: In 2023, Mayor Harrell and the Seattle City Council passed a so-called tree protection ordinance that would limit the amount of trees developers could cut down while building new housing. But, according to tree-canopy advocates, two years since the law went into effect tree-cutting has only increased. Just in August an average of 73 trees were being cut down each week. So what went wrong? Or – is the law working exactly as intended?

We're taking a look at the Seattle mayoral election. Eight people are running, including incumbent Bruce Harrell. The primary election on August 5 will whittle that field down to two candidates. This office is nonpartisan, but the race has turned into a test of progressive versus moderate. Mayor Harrell is seen as a moderate, and he’s being primaried mostly from the left this year. Local Democrats are wondering how races like this one will shake out in the second President Trump era and whether voters want to change course on issues like affordability, homelessness, and budget deficits.

Another day, another chaotic mess in Seattle where Mayor Harrell somehow thinks churchgoers are the real problem. Over 31 arrests in just four days, millions in taxpayer money wasted on police overtime, and the city's brilliant solution? Blame the people peacefully exercising their First Amendment rights while Antifa runs wild in the streets.We dive into the absolute circus outside City Hall where eight more arrests happened during what should have been a simple religious gathering. From masked protesters throwing tantrums to police using bikes as weapons, this footage captures Seattle's complete inability to maintain basic law and order. The contrast is striking—peaceful worship inside, chaos and violence outside, all while city officials point fingers at everyone except the actual troublemakers.Is anyone surprised that Seattle can't handle a church service without it turning into a riot? How much more taxpayer money will be burned on crowd control because our leaders refuse to address the real issues? And why does exercising religious freedom suddenly make you a "right-wing extremist" in this city?

Another day, another Seattle disaster where city officials somehow blame everyone except the people actually causing violence. Mayor Harrell's mental gymnastics are Olympic-level as he tries to explain why 23 Antifa arrests at a permitted Christian rally are somehow the churchgoers' fault. We break down the chaos at Cal Anderson Park—yes, the same park that hosted the CHOP/CHAZ disaster—where masked agitators attacked families attending a lawful "Don't Mess with Our Kids" rally. The city approved the permit, police made proper arrests, yet the mayor still finds a way to blame the victims. What does it say about Seattle's values when peaceful worshippers need police protection from violent counter-protesters? Is anyone surprised that the same park that saw two murders during CHOP is still a magnet for mayhem? How is attacking families for their religious beliefs considered "tolerance"? Seattle's already short hundreds of cops, taxpayer money keeps funding this circus, and residents are left wondering who's actually running their city. Like and subscribe if you're tired of officials defending the indefensible while your tax dollars pay for the cleanup.

Jenny Donnelly, founder of Her Voice Movement, brought a special worship event to Seattle. Antifa assaulted people and police, with 23 arrests, and yet, Mayor Harrell condemned the Christians, calling them the extremists.
