That’s why my team is working closely with Seattle City Light, City Council and stakeholders to identify a range of long-term policy approaches, including exploring a moratorium on siting new centers.

I share community concerns about environmental justice, economic resilience, and impacts of increased costs for Seattle rate payers.

It is important to know that the City of Seattle has not authorized nor permitted any new data centers. However, the prospect of massive new data centers being built in Seattle has raised understandably intense public alarm.

I am more hopeful than ever that we can make tangible progress on homelessness & bring people inside this year. Thank you to City Council for working in partnership on this important legislation.

100 days in, and we're just getting started! This is your city -- let's make it the best place in the country to live, work, and raise a family.
We have to aspire to something higher than pushing an encampment around the corner so it’s a problem for a different block.

Seattle is coming together to open new shelters with wrap-around services citywide.
Thank you to everyone who joined tonight's community briefing on my shelter expansion plan. I was pleased to announce our first new site in Interbay, and the acceleration of Glassyard Commons & Brighton Village.
Seattle is ready to build more shelters with wrap-around services so everyone can have a safe place to sleep inside. Join my community briefing Wednesday evening, 6pm at the Bertha Knight Landes Room in City Hall to get an update on where we're at, and be part of the solution.

I had a few minutes in between speaking out in support of our co-op preschools and celebrating the grand opening of the Wallingford Food Bank. What a beautiful day to soak in some sun at Green Lake!
Rent is high enough, and junk fees make it worse. Triss was one of the almost 9,000 people who filled out my Mayoral Renter's Survey, and I invited her to spend some with me to share her experiences. www.youtube.com/shorts/LV-KF...

Thank you to Seattle Office of Planning and Community Development @seattleopcd.bsky.social, Councilmember Lin @cmeddielin.bsky.social, and Councilmember Foster for your partnership and support to plan for a better Seattle.
We’re planning for a city where everyone has the opportunity to live in a safe, welcoming neighborhood with access to jobs, services, and community.
What had been a multi-year process could now be complete as soon as 2027, rapidly accelerating the ability to build more housing near transit, and in and around growth centers.
We need to go taller, denser, and faster. That's why we're taking bold steps to meet the scale of our housing crisis by combining and accelerating the next phases of Seattle’s Comprehensive Plan.

By working closely with my fellow Sound Transit board members @cmtmosqueda.bsky.social & @cmdanstrauss.bsky.social I'm confident we can come together and deliver on the world-class transit system we voted for. (3/3)
Sound Transit has worked hard to develop a plan that builds to Alaska Junction and gets shovels in the ground this year. And we heard loud & clear last night that West Seattle is ready to go! (2/3)

As a lifelong transit rider and longtime transit organizer, I was one of thousands who helped get ST3 passed. As your Mayor, I'm going to make sure we get it across the finish line. (1/3)
"We are deeply concerned about gun violence in Seattle’s Chinatown-International District, and devastated that two teenagers were the victims. Incidents like this are a painful reminder of the ongoing impact of gun violence on our communities."

Taller, denser, faster. I was excited to announce at @housingconsortium.org's annual event yesterday that we're going to combine and accelerate Phases 3 and 4 of Seattle's comprehensive plan to achieve more housing near transit and in and around our growth centers.

Seattle can't wait to welcome our Sonics back home. The city is ready, the fans are ready, the arena is ready, and I could not be more excited about what's next.

Join me and South Seattle Emerald Executive Director Florangela Davila for a town hall on security and surveillance, and what it means for our communities.
Today I announced my decision on how to proceed with the city's surveillance pilot project. I'll also be holding a town hall event next Friday at Town Hall Seattle (more details to come). wilson.seattle.gov/2026/03/19/m...
I'm grateful for community members who have been responsive in the immediate aftermath and will continue to work in partnership.
