Katie Wilson, a progressive activist and union leader, is ahead of Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell by just 65 votes in the count after last week's election. With almost all ballots counted, she's poised to become the second left-wing candidate in a week to become leader of a major U.S. city following Zohran Mamdani's spectacular thrashing of Andrew Cuomo in New York City.
Wilson leads Harrell by only 91 votes, as of Monday's election results. She currently has 49.83% of the vote (133,469 votes), compared to Harrell at 49.79% of the vote (133,378 votes), as shown on King County's website.
Approximately 39,000 ballots were counted in Monday's latest drop, leaving around 10,000 ballots remaining to decide the election. The closeness of the election could trigger a recount.
