Twitter spats and smack talk â another week in Seattle politics
Downtown Seattle is front and center in the mayorâs race this week.
Seattle City Council President Lorena González tweeted about her refusal to answer a Downtown Seattle Association candidate questionnaire about how she would approach downtown s recovery.
âI declined to answer because our city cannot afford a mayor who believes that recovery should be focused exclusively on big corporations, González said.
And she wasn t the only one at the center of a political kerfuffle.
The question the DSA asked was pretty benign, bland even, with questions like: âPlease describe the cityâs role in helping downtown recover. What is your recovery plan for downtown, and how would you propose to implement it?â
