This week we take a closer look at what’s at stake in the upcoming August primary, and explore the potential resurgence of the progressive left in Seattle.

We consider whether "public safety" retains the same electoral weight it held in 2021 and 2023, years that saw the broad ousting of Seattle progressives. Drawing parallels to the victory of Socialist Zohran Mamdani over establishment Democrats in the recent New York City primary, we also ask if Seattle's incumbent establishment figures, including Mayor Bruce Harrell, City Council President Sara Nelson, and Republican City Attorney Ann Davison could be in trouble.

There's also discussion of a possible "Trump factor,” with the President pushing voters further left in elections across the globe this year. The podcast also gets into a recent court ruling banning nudity “as constituted” at Denny Blaine Park.

This pod taping took place live at the Erickson Theater on Capitol Hill where the 43rd District Democrats had invited us to tape in front of an audience of fellow political nerds. Thanks to all who turned out!
