Many Seattle City Council members don't support enforcing drug laws or fully funding police

As the crime and drug crisis soar, the city of Seattle will see new leaders take control of the City Council. With seven of nine seats ending this year, including four seats without incumbents seeking reelection, the Council will look dramatically different. Out are radicals Kshama Sawant and Lisa Herbold, with socialist Tammy Morales and far-left Andrew Lewis and Dan Strauss asking the voters to give them another chance despite their subpar results on the Council.

The SPD is in the midst of a severe staffing shortage. It’s a contributor to why the crime crisis continues to spiral.
