We got that win! Prop 1A beat the shit out of the corrupt, cynical, rizzless opposition by a large margin and now we've got $50M/year from our wealthiest corporations to build housing! Way to go @houseourneighbors.bsky.social

Now Bruce Harrell gets to think about how he put his big dumb face on like 5 glossy mailers and lost by Tanya Woo numbers heading into an election year with Sara Nelson, the other big loser tonight. And Maritza Rivera gets to consider why her minders keep using her as cannon fodder
I'd still love to know how Sawant got recalled every damn year and this council can just illegally hold up a ballot measure (not to mention abuse a colleague straight out of office) and they get to just hang on till the end of their terms as normal.
The conservative supermajority has now lost the last 3 elections it meddled in since coming to power by double digit margins: Andrea Suarez by 36 pts to Shaun Scott, Tanya Woo by 17 to AMR, and now Prop 1A by 15-20 points. Print that story. They're running out of angry white NIMBY juice
Prop 1B was the most cynical maneuver I've seen in Seattle politics in the last decade & that's saying a LOT. Purpose built to do nothing but crush grassroots enthusiasm. Now it's DEAD, take a piss on the ashes & make sure to vote out all its handlers over the next 3 years, ESPECIALLY Martiza Rivera
I mean, they've arguably lost 4 elections, if you count their support for Mark Mullet's failed gubernatorial campaign...Nelson and Kettle were the only council members who formally endorsed Mullet, but you'd have to be a complete hayseed to not see that the others tacitly supported him.
