Seattle City Attorney Pete Holmes conceded on Friday, as he fell further behind his two primary opponents in an election that will bring an end to his 12 years in office.
The result will leave Seattle with a clear-cut choice in November between a law-and-order candidate and an abolitionist who wants to halt most misdemeanor prosecutions. (snip) Davison says Holmes has been prosecuting too few misdemeanors (the city attorney does not handle felony offenses), while Thomas-Kennedy says he has been prosecuting far too many.

If he has been a substantial part of the insanity in Seattle.....good riddance.
Serious question, are either of the possible replacements one bit better?

Seattle, like Portland, is a lost cause. The local governments let Antifa and BLM take over. Now they are flailing around looking for a fix. It won’t help until these cities (and voters) get a reality check. No one is interested in them anymore. If the media can’t blame this on Trump the won’t cover it. Welcome to the wilderness.

This little gem of a harbinger was dropped in towards the end of the article. "Left-leaning candidates also picked up big ground in Friday’s count in other citywide races, including those for mayor and City Council Position 9." My money is on the lefty "abolitionist" candidate. Notice how they describe the left-wing Antifa/BLM supporter in terms of the abolitionist movement in order to put a halo around her head? Like she is going to free some more slaves? This reminds me of a Bible verse, Mt. 24, v.2: "And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down." The City of Seattle, once great and prosperous, is on its way to a great fall. I recommend its rational citizens, i.e., those 33% who still believe in good and evil to follow Jesus' further advice to flee, don't even stop to pack your bags, but go now while you still have a chance.

Ten to One, the other Democrat wins! Then we can all watch Seattle burn to the ground. The Parasitic Bastids have it coming!

Congratulations, now that your city has been thoroughly burned and looted, you are going to change something. It only took eighteen months. Now you can start advertising all of those open police department positions and hope you get enough suckers to stand there and dodge bricks.

The unique landscape around Seattle was formed by a massive volcano just to the east and a massive underwater earthquake zone to the west. They should stop tempting fates.

When I moved to Seattle in the 90s like everywhere else it had it fair share of problems. Since the WTO Riots the city has been going to hell in a hen-basket. Socialists, leftists, BLM racists and CRT freaks have been running rampant. What happened last year at CHOP is just a taste of crap the city and voters chose. We’re losing good police officers by the hundreds every month. The city has turned into a cesspool of liberal crap the likes of Portland. So glad I moved out of the city to the southend where you see Trump flags and decals on cars. Seattle is a lost cause. Idaho, Montana and Arizona are looking pretty good for my retirement years. I once was a middle of the road kinda guy and all this crud has shown me why conservative values and candidates are the way to go. Law and order NOW.
