Colleen Echohawk. (Echohawk for Seattle) Mayoral candidate Colleen Echohawk issued a letter to state Attorney General Bob Ferguson this week, calling on him to open an investigation into the recent discovery of 10 months of missing text messages from current Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan. This comes in the wake of a whistleblower complaint revealed last week, which had alleged Durkan’s office failed to properly handle a series of public records requests, after it discovered that the mayor’s text messages between August 2019 and June 2020 had gone missing. According to the city attorney’s office, that gap was caused by “a retention setting in her iPhone.”
