There’s one seat up for grabs on Seattle’s city council this November.

Typically city council seats are filled during odd-year elections.

But, when former councilmember Teresa Mosqueda was elected to the King County Council in 2023, she left a vacancy that needed filling. Tanya Woo was appointed by the council to fill the seat, until this year’s special election could determine a replacement to serve through 2025.

Position 8 represents all of Seattle, as opposed to just one geographic district.

This week, Soundside is speaking with both candidates for the office. Today, we're speaking with incumbent councilmember Tanya Woo.
