Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson Hit With Recall Effort After Police Chief Fallout

Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson is facing a recall effort alleging she failed in her public safety duties, as criticism continues over the city's response following the Bite of Seattle shooting and the resignation of former Police Chief Shawn Barnes. Seattle Police Guild President Kent Loux says the recall faces a high legal bar but called the filing a potential “wake-up call” for Wilson's administration to take public safety seriously. Loux also urged the mayor's office to reconsider its approach to surveillance cameras and involve police more closely in public safety decisions. We Heart Seattle founder Andrea Suarez also reacted to the recall effort, criticizing what she described as a lack of leadership and transparency and questioning the handling of Barnes' departure.
