Seattle Mayor Recall Stalls After Filing Deadline Missed
TL;DR Summary
A recall petition against Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson was dropped after petitioners missed the Aug. 26 filing deadline, triggering an Aug. 27 court hearing to decide if the effort can proceed. Wilson is focusing on city business and affordable housing as petitioners indicate they may refile in the future. The charge, filed by Melinda Jacobson and Dale Osterud, accuses Wilson of neglecting public safety following the Bite of Seattle shooting and the resignation of Police Chief Shon Barnes. If the judge rules the deadline invalid, the case ends; if not, the petition would move to signature gathering within 180 days to try to place a recall on the ballot.
