Elections
There are 15 candidates in the primary election for Seattle mayor in 2021 and KUOW is asking them all about the one thing they would do to address the issues facing the city, from homelessness to policing and more.
We're also asking you about what you would do. Each week, we will put forth a question to candidates, and also to you. Leave us a comment on KUOW's Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. You can also send us your comments here. And you can even leave us a voicemail at 206-616-3805.
