Weekend Listen: Seattle’s mayoral candidates on homelessness, public safety and the city’s growth

It’s election season. So today, we’re bringing you a candidate debate hosted by Soundside's Libby Denkmann.

This week, the candidates for Seattle mayor came to the KUOW studio.

Seattle hasn't had a two term mayor since Greg Nickels, who won a second term nearly two decades ago. 

Incumbent Mayor Bruce Harrell is trying to break the streak of one-term mayors… His opponent is Katie Wilson. She founded the nonprofit Transit Riders Union and serves as its chair.

Listen to debates and more from KUOW's Soundside here.

The Soundside team includes Sarah Leibovitz, Jason Burrows, Hans Anderson, Gabrielle Healy, Maleeha Syed, and Jed Kim.
