Josh Feit/Publicola:
I have been covering Seattle politics for a long time, and I have to say: Mayor-Elect Mike McGinn’s victory party tonight was an unprecedented scene.
It was held at the New Holly Gathering Hall in Seattle’s Holly Park mixed-income development (seven blocks from the Othello light rail stop in the minority Southeast Seattle turf that probably made the difference for McGinn in the election). And none of the leaders from the consultant/political class that has been running this town for years showed. None of them.
Lefty state Sen. Adam Kline (D-37, South Seattle) was about as establishment as it got. Read more.
