Welcome Tanya Woo and thank you Seattle City Council for your efforts in the appointment process. Let’s get to work!

What sad news. Nancy Evans, and the legacy she helped build with Dan Evans, 3-time former WA Governor and US Senator, was so pivotal for our state.

Local policy makers, not courts, should decide solutions to help the growing and complex homelessness issue because the problems - and answers - aren't one size fits all. In this NPR story, City Attorney Ann Davison advocates options at the local level. npr.org/2024/02/20/123…

Honoring individuals and their families who choose public service to help protect and uphold our laws. Today, friends and colleagues told of his exemplary service and character, learned from a family of state troopers. Trooper Chris Gadd lost his life in service to us.

Everyone should stop and read this about Eboni Walker. The profound and senseless loss of Eboni to her sons and the rest of her family is unimaginable. Eboni was serving others, an example to us all. Violence starts….and stops with people.

Thank you to those who served us through military service, especially those who paid the ultimate price. Annual workout for Memorial Day: Murph. A small way to honor their memory and focus on appreciating our freedoms.

Deep grief with the loss of a far too young life. And so many more young minds exposed to more trauma and fear at Garfield HS & its neighborhood. Reducing violence starts w/ adults. Coping in emotionally high intensity moments. Violence isn’t coping but grasping to feel powerful.

Today is a time to reflect on Juneteenth and how our country got there, why it occurred and where we can improve.

Seattle City Attorney Ann Davison introduced legislation to City Council this week to address the dangerous and growing incidence of street racing. "Street racing, takeovers -- they're a safety hazard to pedestrians, cyclists, and other drivers." bit.ly/45wHR3l

Street racing, intersection takeovers for drifting are dangerous activities on our public streets that’s why I proposed legislation to add these to our city’s criminal laws and add an additional civil infraction so there are two ways to help deter this dangerous conduct.

Enjoy a safe and happy 4th with friends and family!

Thank you to those who helped others and secured the scene. Acts of violence towards another person is never okay. Peaceful, respectful, civil dialogue and political disagreement should be the only American way. My thoughts are with former President Trump and all the attendees.

Former Seattle mayor Charley Royer, a dedicated civic leader to learn from, will be missed. Thank you to his family and friends who supported him as he shared his time with us and our city.

Positive impacts to safety in public places: thank you to CM Kettle, Rivera and CP Nelson, along with Downtown Seattle Assoc. Jon Scholes for joining me in efforts to disrupt the hold that illegal drug use & associated criminal activities has on areas too established in our city.

Thank you CM Moore for focusing on sex trafficking & associated gun violence. We won’t act like girls and women are invisible any longer but will say ‘You’re worth it; we care enough to act and disrupt this criminal enterprise of trafficking. seattlechannel.org/videos?videoid…

What an honor to witness and participate in the community outpouring for a life spent in service to others—people and animals—and tragically lost in a moment. Ruth made a difference in Seattle for so many.
