SEATTLE — Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell says he won’t take a victory lap, but believes Seattle is on a “good trajectory” during his first year in office.

Harrell is now entering year two in the top office in Washington’s largest city, and believes there has been progress in reducing crime, and homelessness. However, Seattle police data shows that crime has risen substantially in 2022, and shots fired calls are up 23%.

“The data also has to be looked in the context of what’s happening in this country, in this state, and in this city,” said Harrell in the interview with KOMO Senior Reporter Chris Daniels. “The fact is we have a proliferation of guns in the wrong hands, we don’t have the policies in place federally or statewide to really address it to the level I would like to address it.”
