The 2019 Seattle City Council election was held on November 5, 2019. Seven seats of the nine-member Seattle City Council were up for election. Four incumbent members of the city council did not run for reelection, while the remaining three incumbents all won reelection.

Contents

Sally Bagshaw, Bruce Harrell, Rob Johnson, and Mike O'Brien all announced that they would not seek reelection to the city council. Andrew J. Lewis defeated Jim Pugel to succeed Bagshaw, Tammy Morales defeated Mark Solomon to succeed Harrell, Alex Pedersen defeated Shaun Scott to succeed Johnson, and Dan Strauss defeated Heidi Wills to succeed O'Brien. Incumbent councilors Lisa Herbold, Debora Juarez, and Kshama Sawant ran for and won reelection.

The amount of money spent during the campaign doubled from the 2015 election, with Amazon spending $1.5 million to support multiple candidates, including Egan Orion against Sawant and Pedersen's campaign.

Background

The districts of the Seattle City Council were reorganized into geographic districts starting in the 2015 election instead of the previously used at-large districts. [1] Forty-seven candidates ran in the 2015 city council election, which was the most up to that point, and more than the twenty-nine candidates who ran in the 1997 election. Over fifty candidates ran in the 2019 election. [2]

Mayor Ed Murray did not seek reelection in the 2017 mayoral election which was won by Jenny Durkan. Murray resigned on September 13, 2017, and was replaced by Bruce Harrell as temporary mayor, who was later replaced by Tim Burgess. [3] [4] [5]
