Katie Wilson Recall Escalates Seattle City Hall Turmoil + Ferguson Pressed to Act After Wildfires

Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson is facing mounting pressure over public safety as Seattle City Council members demand answers about the city's response to the deadly Bite of Seattle shooting and the circumstances surrounding former Police Chief Shawn Barnes' resignation. The controversy comes as a recall filing has now been submitted against Wilson. The filing accuses the mayor of failing to meet her public safety responsibilities, while Wilson's office says the effort does not appear to have merit. Meanwhile, Spokane wildfire fallout continues after more than 900 structures were reportedly destroyed. State Rep. Jenny Graham, who lost her own home in the fires, is calling on Gov. Bob Ferguson to lift election-period restrictions she says are preventing lawmakers from communicating with constituents during the emergency. Graham is also calling for a special legislative session as questions emerge about how Washington handled the accused arsonist before the fires.
