Seattle s Black Imagination is blowing up! Courtesy Natasha Marin
What kind of time is not being wasted? The time it takes for Q13 s Brandi Kruse to point out the direction from which people with good common sense should attack Nikkita Oliver, who today announced their run for a citywide Seattle City Council seat that will be left empty by Council President Lorena Gonzalez’s departure.
And where does Kruse want Seattle conservatives to aim their attacks in this battle? On Oliver s “extreme” position on police funding. Can you even imagine a society without police officers? That s just plain nuts. Cuckoo. Seattle progressives have lost contact with reality. That kind of rubbish. And it is total rubbish to me, a lefty who sees deep defunding as the second-best option to the present crisis of American policing at the top of my list is deep decriminalizing. But don t get me wrong. Oliver

Yesterday was a victory for everybody trying to get their at-home coffee roasting business off the ground, or anyone who would kill a man to get a little bodega in their neighborhood.
In a 4-1 vote, the Seattle City Council s Land Use & Neighborhoods committee, chaired by Councilmember Dan Strauss, passed a bill that slightly amends the Seattle Land Use Code to make it temporarily easier for small business owners to create successful enterprises out of their own homes. The full council will vote on whether to pass the bill this coming Monday.
Seattle activist, attorney Nikkita Oliver launches bid for City Council seat by Callie Craighead, SeattlePI
Seattle activist, attorney and spoken word poet Nikkita Oliver launched their bid for City Council on Wednesday, ending months of speculation from supporters that they would run for elected office again in 2021.
In a campaign announcement on Twitter, Oliver stated their intention to run for Council Position 9 which will be vacated by current Council President Lorena Gonzalez who is running for mayor.
Oliver ran for mayor in 2017 and narrowly missed snagging a place on the ballot for the Seattle Peoples Party, finishing third overall behind current mayor Jenny Durkan who will not be seeking reelection and urban planner Cary Moon.
