Seattle Nice

Is Rinck's win scaring Seattle city council centrists?

David Hyde, Erica Barnett, and Sandeep Kaushik Season 4 Episode 1

It was a dreary election night for the left, but Seattle progressives celebrated city council candidate Alexis Mercedes Rinck's decisive victory over incumbent Tanya Woo. By Thursday afternoon Rinck's lead had grown to around 16 percentage points. Are voters sending a message to the centrist city council majority, led by Sara Nelson?  Erica and Sandeep debate and discuss.
