Time is up for people wanting to file to run for Seattle City Council. The deadline to file was at 4:30 p.m. on Friday, May 19. No matter the election results, this race will end with at least four new faces on city council. As of right now, there are more than 40 candidates signed up to run for the seven district seats. This year’s election is only for the seven district seats and does not include the two citywide seats held by Councilmember Sara Nelson and Councilmember Teresa Mosqueda. Of the seven seats that are up for election, only three councilmembers are seeking reelection. Those three trying to keep their seats this year are Tammy Morales (District 2), Dan Strauss (District 6), and Andrew Lewis (District 7).
