Katie Wilson

Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson is straying from her predecessor’s artificial intelligence ambitions, pausing the rollout of Microsoft’s AI Copilot chatbot for city employees.

High taxes were among the concerns Seattle leaders discussed at this month's "State of Downtown" event focused on post-pandemic revitalization.

The highly anticipated reopening of the center marked a big day for community members — and for sustainability in the city.

Katie Wilson's first city-wide address as mayor outlined her priorities. Specifics were few, but Wilson said she would provide more information in the coming months.

Lisa Qian, a former data scientist with LinkedIn and Airbnb, will be tasked with developing citywide AI strategy, educating employees and establishing ethical AI standards.

The team is tasked with gathering feedback and identifying priorities for Wilson's term as mayor.

Progressive candidate Katie Wilson has won one of the closest mayoral races in Seattle's history. Both candidates said Thursday that it’s time for the city to come together.

After trailing on election night, Katie Wilson pulled ahead of Mayor Bruce Harrell with Monday's ballot count. She now leads the incumbent by 91 votes.

Katie Wilson has earned 49.83% of votes, compared to Bruce Harrell’s 49.79% in election results updated Monday. The race remains too close to call.

Whoever wins the race will have a lot on their plate: Creating more affordable housing, dealing with a budget deficit and improving public safety.
