Eight candidates running for Seattle City Council seats, including current council member Kshama Sawant, will announce an alternative housing plan at a City Hall news conference Wednesday morning.
Candidates for seven of the Seattle City Council’s nine seats are banding together Wednesday, less than a week before the Aug. 4 primary election, to back an alternative to Mayor Ed Murray’s housing plan.
The group includes only one current council member, Kshama Sawant, who’s running in District 3.
The other candidates set to announce the alternative plan at a City Hall news conference are Lisa Herbold in District 1, Tammy Morales and Josh Farris in District 2, Michael Maddux in District 4 and Mercedes Elizade in District 5, along with Jon Grant and Bill Bradburd, who are running for the Position 8 and Position 9 citywide seats, respectively.
