By Elizah Lourdes Rendorio, Journalist Intern, The University of Washington - Seattle’s Mayor-elect Katie Wilson held her first transition meeting team Tuesday, Dec. 9 at El Centro De La Raza. Her 60-member team, which includes a group of student and youth advisors, convened to set the administration's initial agenda and priorities before taking office in January. 

Mayor-elect Katie Wilson recently appeared on “The Big O Show” to discuss her transition into office and her administration's priorities, including homelessness and public safety. Wilson announced for the first time that she will keep Shon Barnes as Seattle Police Chief. "I've had several conversations now with Chief Barnes and I will be retaining him as our police chief,” she said. 

By a narrow margin, Katie Wilson is projected to win the 2025 Seattle mayoral race against incumbent Bruce Harrell. In light of her win, Converge looks back on Wilson’s first interview with Trae Holiday on The Day With Trae on April 6, 2025. Wilson, a self-described community organizer of 14 years and founder of the Transit Riders Union, spoke about her decision to run for mayor and what she planned to prioritize in office. 

Progressive challenger Katie Wilson has significantly extended her lead over incumbent Mayor Harrell today, now ahead by 1,346 votes, a major jump from yesterday's razor-thin 91-vote margin.

The third round of Seattle and King County 2025 General Election results are in. As of 4 p.m. PST on November 6, many races have been called, while the races for Seattle Mayor and King County Executive remain up in the air.
