A time element for the election would be nice here to understand the context. I’ve not lived in Seattle for 25 years, so I don’t remember the cycles, and I’m too mentally exhausted to deal with a search engine.

The current city attorney was voted in 4 years ago in 2021

Can’t be worse than Paul Schell.
Wasn’t old enough to have any opinion of him but I just asked my dad who’s been living here since '89 and he thinks our current mayor is worse lmao
