Seattle seems to like electing weak mayors that come and go at the whim of whatever old money’s really been running the show. Wow, imagine if they had a real goer and doer picked by the people running the show.

What money wants, money gets, especially when money owns the mayor. Give me Katie Wilson please.

Katie needs to be getting her thing going then. I’ve heard the name but not seeing or hearing the name much at all. (Gotta do better than the head of the Green Party.)
