The 2025 Seattle City Council election will be held on November 4, 2025, following a primary election on August 5. There will be three seats on the City Council up for election; two regularly scheduled at-large district elections and one special election for the 2nd district. [1] The 2nd district seat was vacated by Tammy Morales on January 6, citing friction with other councilmembers. [2]
