Sound Politics

Big names bowing out of Seattle-area politics


Listen Later

We’ve gotten two major announcements from local politicos: First, Seattle City Councilmember Tammy Morales has announced she’s resigning from her seat on the council come January.

Morales was re-elected this year, and is one of the two remaining incumbents of the 2020 council, which pushed for more progressive policies like police reform.

What’s behind the toxic and “harmful” atmosphere within the council Morales alleges, and how did it possibly impact her ability to pass legislation?

And, we’ll discuss King County Executive Dow Constantine’s decision to not run for reelection next year. Host Scott Greenstone, political consultant Sandeep Kaushik, and PubliCola editor and publisher Erica Barnett hash it out on this week’s Sound Politics.
