The 2023 Seattle City Council election was held on November 7, 2023, following a primary election on August 1.[1] The seven district-based seats of the nine-member Seattle City Council are up for election; the districts were modified based on the results of the 2020 census.[2] Four incumbent members of the city council did not seek reelection.[3]
All seven contests in the general election were between a more moderate candidate endorsed by The Seattle Times and a more progressive candidate endorsed by The Stranger.[4] Seattle Times endorsees won 5 of the 7 races, marking a significant shift from the 2019 Seattle City Council election, in which more progressive Stranger-endorsed candidates won 6 of the 7 contested seats.
Background
[edit]The Seattle Redistricting Commission approved a new map for the city council districts on November 8, 2022.[5] The 2023 election cycle was the fourth to use Seattle's democracy voucher program.[6] At least 16,000 people utilized the democracy voucher program during this election.[7]

Campaign
[edit]Incumbent councilor Lisa Herbold, first elected in the 2015 election, announced on December 9, 2022, that she would not seek reelection. She stated that she did not want the election in the 1st district to repeat the 2021 Seattle City Attorney election in which Ann Davison, a Republican, was elected against a divided progressive field.[8][9]
Preston Anderson, a social worker and unsuccessful candidate in the 2019 Pierce County Council election, and Maren Costa, a leader of Amazon Employees for Climate Justice that National Labor Relations Board ruled to be illegally fired by Amazon, announced their campaigns in January 2023.[10][11][12] Rob Saka, a lawyer for Meta Platforms who was a member of the King County Districting Committee and the committee that selected Seattle Police Chief Adrian Z. Diaz, announced his campaign on February 14.[13][14]
Phil Tavel, an administrative law judge who unsuccessful ran against Herbold in 2019, announced his candidacy on February 28.[15][16] Stephen Brown, the co-owner of Eltana Bagels, announced his campaign on March 7, and stated that he considered running for office "during the height of the Black Lives Matter, George Floyd protests, and CHOP occupancy".[17][18] Lucy Barefoot, Jean Craciun, and Mia Jacobson also ran while Michael Auger conducted a write-in campaign.[19] AnnaLisa LaFayette withdrew from the campaign.[20]
Campaign finance
[edit]All of the candidates are participating in the democracy voucher program.[6]
Brown's significant usage of billboards, which cost $1,000 per week, and mailers placed him above the $93,750 fundraising threshold for the democracy vouchers program. Brown told the Seattle Ethics and Elections Commission that the advertisements were meant for his business and not his campaign. Costa and Saka also exceeded the fundraising limit, but the SEEC lifted their limit. Elliott Bay Neighbors Committee has spent $40,000 in support of Saka.[21]
