This fall, voters in southeast Seattle’s District 2, which stretches from the Chinatown-International District through Rainier Beach, will elect someone to finish the remaining two years in former D2 Councilmember Tammy Morales’s four-year term. Morales resigned from the Council at the start of 2025, just one year after being reelected, alleging toxic treatment by her colleagues.
The Council appointed crime prevention coordinator Mark Solomon, who had run and lost against Morales in 2019, to temporarily fill the seat, but he committed to being a “caretaker” for the office and vowed not to seek election.
Four candidates are running to represent D2 next.
