In an interview with KIRO Newsradio’s Heather Bosch, Nickles said the announcement ofand three others not running, “creates a very exciting opportunity” regarding re-shaping the council.
“I would not point to a single member as being the problem,” he said. “During my time as mayor, we had a councilmember, Nick Lacata, who was considerably to the left of the rest of the council. But he added value. He added a perspective that wasn’t otherwise represented. And that was a positive for the council.”
Nickles said the mayor and city council set the tone when it comes to addressing the significant issues Seattle faces. “If they support our institutions, things can go well,” he said. “If they don’t agree with one another or if they can’t set a direction that the public understands, that causes confusion and chaos, and that’s never a good thing.”
