Seattle Firms Demand Immediate, Measurable Public-Safety Plan From City Hall

Seattle’s corporate leaders signed a letter urging Mayor Katie Wilson and the City Council to immediately implement a credible, measurable public-safety plan—with a dedicated budget, a seven-minute 911 response standard, CCTV in high‑crime areas, crackdown on open-air drug markets, and encampment restrictions—delivered within 100 days with monthly progress reports; the push comes as violence rises and police leadership is in flux, and polls show broad voter support for action.

Seattle business leaders press for 100-day public-safety plan and CCTV revival

A coalition of 38 Seattle-area business leaders, including Microsoft, Starbucks, Costco, Nordstrom and Alaska Airlines executives, is urging Mayor Katie Wilson and the City Council to adopt a 100-day public-safety action plan, restore CCTV cameras in high-incident areas, and publish monthly progress toward measurable benchmarks for police response times. The letter also calls for regular patrols, a clearer drug-diversion policy, a crackdown on open-air drug markets, a 250-foot camping ban near parks and schools with encampments cleared within 72 hours, and increased public-safety funding. The push follows a poll showing just 34% of Seattle voters confident in the city’s public-safety plan and notes Seattle’s police staffing lag compared with other major cities.
