Seattle Progressive Widens Slim Lead on Mayor in Tight Race

The progressive challenger seeking to oust Seattle’s business-friendly mayor widened her slim lead as the final votes are tallied from the Nov. 4 election, but the race remains undecided and likely headed for a recount.

Katie Wilson is just 1,346 votes ahead of Mayor Bruce Harrell, with both campaigns calling on volunteers to help address problematic ballots by resolving questions around voter signatures. Each side has also assembled a legal team for any potential litigation.
