Challengers for Seattle council seat remain scarce with clock ticking on filing deadline

Races to replace Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan and City Councilmember Lorena Gonzalez have attracted numerous candidates, who’ve all already brought in hundreds of thousands of dollars in campaign contributions. But for the city’s other at-large council seat, occupied by incumbent Teresa Mosqueda, large-scale opposition has yet to materialize.
Seattle council races featuring incumbents don’t often attract the same level of competition as campaigns for open seats. Even by that standard, Mosqueda’s run for reelection has operated in stark contrast to what we saw during the last major council election.
