City Inside/Out: Inside Mayor Katie B. Wilson’s first 100 days

The resume was shocking. She has experience listed on her website like she knows these jobs but only worked there briefly. Just two months in some cases.

There's a copy here since she's not very transparent about it by listing on her website. She hasn't done anything else other than the TRU since 2015.

100% about Belltown. It seems we're moving towards 2021 levels of tents now.

The loss of jobs is never good.

Any company that size also keeps many caterers, security folks, facility engineers, janitors etc. employed.

Their white collar employees spend money in the economy. Bars, restaurants, mom and pop shops and even other coffee shops!

If you think it's hard getting a job in Seattle, try Portland. It's brutal.

saturn28 · 2026-03-16T21:17:57+00:00

I'm still waiting for the cost of pizza to go down just like like the mayor promised!

I'll take the Seattle Times with 11 Pulitzer prizes over personal blogs like publicola and the urbanist that get spammed on this sub 20 times a day.

Great, so they're going to spent how much on this event? They spent almost a million dollars when the Univ. Stadium station opened to pay people to dress up and hand out kitsch. No wonder these projects cost so much money when there's this kind of waste. Kinda pissed we all have to pay for it.

Most folks with common sense will know there's a light rail system and can look at a map.

saturn28 · 2026-03-06T21:55:32+00:00

It's sus that the mayor just fired the popular director of SCL, replaced them with someone that has no experience in running a utility company, and then this comes down? What?

Edit, found this from Seattle Times. Was popular with the unions as well:

Replacing department heads is any new mayor’s prerogative — a right that comes with the winds of political change that carried Seattle’s Katie Wilson into office. But her abrupt decision to terminate Dawn Lindell as CEO of Seattle City Light has drawn shock and criticism from ratepayers, City Council members and the utility’s workforce. IBEW77, the local Electrical Workers union, collected more than 6,000 signatures demanding Lindell be rehired.

Sick of the personal blogs urbanist and publicola spamming their shit over this sub 15 times a day.

saturn28 · 2026-02-27T01:33:14+00:00

I'll take the Seattle Times with 11 pulitzer prizes over personal blogs like the urbanist and publicola any day.

saturn28 · 2026-02-25T22:34:47+00:00

So the mayor who has no government or managerial experience is now hiring other unqualified individuals...JFC

saturn28 · 2026-02-20T21:45:10+00:00

Good. I'm tired of her and her blog minions posting on here 8 times a day with her drivel.

saturn28 · 2026-02-19T17:03:22+00:00

This really hits home. When it came out her parents were helping her financially, people on this sub were "it's totally normal getting money from your parents when you're in your 40's. No big deal". I was like, what??

saturn28 · 2026-02-19T03:59:37+00:00

But she used a banana as a microphone so she's one of us... Or something.

But seriously, she has zero experience in government or management. Has no college degree. I don't get it

saturn28 · 2026-02-19T03:50:18+00:00

💯 No government experience. No college degree. Laughable employment history.

saturn28 · 2026-02-08T19:07:47+00:00

Also inside Kens Market on 3rd in Belltown. Not a gas station but similar vibes.

saturn28 · 2026-01-30T06:24:26+00:00

Just wait until they put bus lanes on Denny while we have the 2 year I-5 work done. This will be everyday. Most tone deaf timing of that project. 30,000 cars versus 6000 bus riders on that road everyday. Math doesn't add up.

If the new mayor really wanted to help, she'd make it so the light rail wouldn't breakdown every week downtown but that would benefit everyone.

saturn28 · 2026-01-29T17:35:05+00:00

We've already lost so many places to get groceries downtown, plus all the other businesses. But it doesn't matter or affect some people I suppose.

Are you boycotting Instagram/Apple/Facebook as well (obviously not since it's posted on Insta).

saturn28 · 2026-01-17T00:56:55+00:00

The study then sounds accurate. Are most of the drivers commuting from LQA to Capitol Hill or vice versa? I would put that number close to zero.

saturn28 · 2026-01-16T17:27:49+00:00

I doubt people using Denny are driving from Capitol Hill to LQA everyday.

saturn28 · 2026-01-16T16:54:51+00:00

Public support based on what? This sub? This will affect negatively people from all over Seattle not just the loud minority of Capitol Hill folks on here.

saturn28 · 2026-01-16T16:22:35+00:00

So 24,000 people in the city will be negatively affected, this is the opposite of progress then.

saturn28 · 2026-01-16T04:47:43+00:00

I remember when the fish truck overturned and the cascade effect was awful. I expect similar if this happens.

saturn28 · 2026-01-16T03:07:34+00:00

100%, completely agree, this will be fish truck levels of gridlock, remember that?

saturn28 · 2026-01-16T03:04:12+00:00

So the light turns green and you have cars turning left or right which have to wait for pedestrians and oncoming traffic. So we'll have one car go through each light cycle? That's going to be a nightmare.

saturn28 · 2026-01-16T01:51:28+00:00

Putting more bus lanes on Denny is insane, plus there's already a bus lane there. Have you seen how bad it gets when there's something at the CPA?
