Housing costs, homelessness, and an income tax ordinance approved by the city council in July 2017 were the subject of debate for mayoral candidates Jenny Durkan and Cary Moon in Seattle, Washington. Durkan defeated Moon in the general election on November 7, 2017. Ed Murray's decision not to seek re-election on May 9, 2017, left an open mayoral seat. Durkan became the first female mayor of Seattle since Bertha Knight Landes served from 1926 to 1928.[1] Click here to learn more about the issues defining this race.

A primary election took place on August 1, 2017. The top two vote recipients in the primary advanced to the general election. Twenty-one mayoral candidates ran in the primary election with a close race between Moon and third-place candidate Nikkita Oliver leaving the result in question until vote certification on August 15, 2017. The filing deadline for this election was May 19, 2017.[2]

Elections

General election

Incumbent Ed Murray announced that he would not seek re-election on May 9, 2017.[3] Murray's decision not to seek a second term stemmed from a lawsuit claiming that he paid for sexual favors from a then-15-year old in the 1980s. This lawsuit was dismissed in June 2017 and Murray considered a write-in campaign for mayor before endorsing Jenny Durkan.[4][5] Murray resigned from office on September 13, 2017, following additional allegations. Moon issued a statement asking for his resignation in July 2017, while Durkan called for his resignation on September 12, 2017.[6][7] Learn more about that case here.

Issues

General election debates

The general election between Jenny Durkan and Cary Moon featured multiple candidate debates. The following table summarizes notable topics and responses from these debates.

Notable debate topics
Date Sponsor Issue Durkan Moon
October 24, 2017[45] KING5 TV Should city conduct sweeps of homeless communities? Supported reformed version of sweeps conducted by city at time of debate Opposed sweeps, argued that they were inefficient and inhumane
October 24, 2017[45] KING5 TV How should city approach future budgets? Promised no additional taxes until review of budget revenues Promised to cut costs of mayor's office, push for changes in business tax to reduce costs for small businesses
October 5, 2017[46] League of Women Voters Should the city ensure online access to city residents? Supported idea of municipal broadband, but argued that housing projects should take precedent Supported development of municipal broadband, argued that online access similar to access to water and electricity
September 20, 2017[47] Rotary Club of Seattle Management style "Bureaucracies will slow roll you every time. As mayor, you have to not only be able to know where all the levers are, you have to know who has the hands on the lever and how to move it forward. I think I know how to do that." "I commit to professional leadership in the mayor’s office and a clear transparent vision and action plan for what we’re working on and then empowering departmental leaders to do their jobs, especially in the delivery of public services."
September 12, 2017[48] Seattle University Should Seattle adopt an ordinance to create a right to shelter? "I won’t need a law to tell me that housing is a human right. I’m going to work as hard as I can to make sure people are brought off the street." "Yes. We sort of have this system where we provide housing as it becomes available instead of housing as a right."
August 17, 2017[49] Visit Seattle Should Seattle relax parking rules for RVs and other mobile shelters? "We don't want to criminalize being homeless, nor do we want to take the last possession, the cars and vehicles that they have. But it is the wrong direction in my view to simply say, 'Well then let’s let them park anywhere for as long as they want." "Forty percent of homeless folks are living in a vehicle, so this is their last chance at shelter before they are out on the street. So we have to do what we can to make sure these work."
August 17, 2017[49] Visit Seattle Should Seattle host major sporting events? "We're a world class city, and we can host world class events. That’s what Seattle is and so I think we have to be careful that the costs are born by the industries that are going to help it. But if you look at the big cities around the world, they not only find a way to do this they thrive on it." "I think with a city like ours, that's growing so quickly, that already has terrible traffic congestion, and so much problem with hotel rooms being not available, Airbnb taking over apartments, housing being not available, I think we have to be really careful."

Housing costs

Leading up to the 2017 election, a growing population and limited housing stock led to rising housing costs for Seattle residents. U.S. Census Bureau data shows that Seattle had the fastest population growth rate among the nation's 50 largest cities by population with 3.1 percent growth from 2015 to 2016.[50] The Seattle Planning Commission issued a report in 2011 that signalled housing issues ahead of this population growth including 53 percent of housing stock built before 1960, a shortage of low-income housing, and a growing number of middle-income families living in below-market-rate housing due to rising costs of living.[51] The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reported that housing prices in Seattle rose by 5.8 percent from April 2016 to April 2017 with a 6.5 percent increase in rents during that period. The BLS report from April 2017 also showed a 1.4 percent increase in food prices and a 13.7 percent increase in energy prices.[52]

Mayor Ed Murray and the Seattle City Council created a 28-member advisory committee in September 2014 to determine how to deal with the city's emerging housing issues. The Housing Affordability and Living Agenda (HALA) published in July 2015 made 65 recommendations that covered a range of policy areas including a renewed housing levy, using surplus public property, strengthening tenant protections, and modifying zoning and construction rules.[53] City officials accepted public feedback before developing mandatory housing affordability (MHA) requirements for new residential developments.[54]

Seattle Fair Growth, a coalition of 17 community groups, criticized HALA due to concerns about the agenda's ability to house low-income families. In particular, the group argued that HALA's recommendations would reduce neighborhood identity and create housing uncertainty for residents who use housing vouchers. Seattle Fair Growth's recommendations included issuing long-term bonds for low-income housing, applying taxes on high-income earners, ensuring geographical balance for below-market-rate housing, and creating a rent stabilization ordinance to limit rental price increases.[55]

Candidate responses

  • Jenny Durkan: "First and foremost, we need to create more housing options in this city. I strongly believe that the need for more affordable housing must mean both low income and middle class options. This problem will only grow as our population grows. I will look to leverage City and regional tools and partnerships to help meet this need. I strongly support the implementation of the HALA recommendations. I will focus on the “highest impact recommendations” first as identified by HALA."
  • Cary Moon: "Increase tenants rights to provide stability and protections to renters. The Seattle Renters Commission is a good first step, but we can do more to help renters. Prevent evictions of families with children and safeguard transitional housing for families and victims of domestic violence. Exponentially expand affordable housing from only 6% of Seattle’s housing market toward a goal of four times this share. Cities that have solved this problem show that more public and nonprofit housing is an essential tool to achieving overall stability in housing costs."

Homelessness

Seattle's growing population and limited affordable housing contributed to a growth in city residents without homes. The city found 3,857 homeless residents during its 2017 count. This count continued a steady growth of the homeless population since 2011 when 1,753 homeless residents were counted.[56] In 2014, the Seattle metro area had the fourth-largest homeless population among metro areas in the United States behind New York City (67,810), Los Angeles (34,393), and Las Vegas (9,417).[57] The city's Pathways Home Initiative website cited funding cuts to federal housing assistance, rent increases, and reduced funding for mental health programs as causes for the growing homeless population.[58]

Leading up to the 2017 election, Seattle spent $50 million per year to provide shelter and services to the homeless community, including shelter for 2,184 individuals every night as of June 28, 2017. The city utilized multiple resources to assist homeless people with temporary shelter, medical services, and rehousing. The city opened three authorized encampments for homeless people in June 2015 with an additional three encampments authorized in 2016. Mayor Ed Murray signed an executive order in June 2016 to create a 24-hour navigation center capable of helping newly homeless residents find long-term shelter and medical care. A $620,000 rapid rehousing program was initiated in 2016 to connect first-time homeless people with housing in cases where homelessness is related to temporary circumstances like job loss or eviction.[58]

Opponents of the city's approach to homelessness voiced concerns about the impacts of policies on neighborhood safety. The Ballard Chamber of Commerce opposed the creation of an encampment in the neighborhood because of a perceived lack of public input into site selection. The neighborhood was among the first three locations for encampments in 2016.[59] Visit Seattle was opposed to a 2016 ordinance supported by the American Civil Liberties Union to create protections for homeless residents facing eviction from public spaces. Tom Nowak, the president of Visit Seattle, told local media that the ordinance failed to address legal and safety issues in the encampments or provide a path toward long-term housing.[60] Councilman Tim Burgess also opposed this ordinance because of concerns that encampments weakened the city's ability to ensure public safety.[61][62]

Candidate responses

  • Jenny Durkan: "Above all else, homeless families and individuals need a safe and stable home. Removing barriers to permanent housing requires not just shelter alternatives, but also requires tackling a variety of challenges, including employment, stable schooling for kids, and addiction and mental health services. I am committed to smartly directing city resources while working with service providers, caring philanthropists, communities, individuals and businesses dedicated to finding solutions."
  • Cary Moon: "Prioritize long-term supportive housing options and housing first approaches. Vouchers offer only a temporary reprieve; this funding ends up in the hands of for-profit landlords, leaving families to face the same unaffordable rents after their vouchers expire."

City council, mayor push for income tax

City Councilwoman Lisa Herbold

On December 8, 2017, Seattle asked the Washington Supreme Court to review a November superior court ruling striking down an income tax it approved in July 2017.[63] The court denied the request to review the case in April 2020.[64]

On July 10, 2017, the Seattle City Council unanimously approved a 2.25 percent income tax on single residents with annual earnings above $250,000 and married residents with joint annual incomes above $500,000.[65] The passage of the ordinance met the July 10 deadline set by the council on May 1, 2017, for adoption of "a progressive income tax targeting high-income households."[66]

City Councilwoman Lisa Herbold, who cosponsored the income tax measure, argued that "an increasing affordability gap between the have and have nots" made the tax necessary. "The middle class is being squeezed as well," she said. "And one of the reasons is our outdated, regressive and unfair tax structure."[67]

The income tax had attracted four legal challenges by November 17, 2017.[68] Plaintiffs argued that the city did not have the authority to impose the tax without state legislative approval and that a 1984 state law prohibits localities like Seattle from taxing net income.[69] Seattle responded that its tax was an excise tax on total income rather than a net income tax and that it was authorized by the state legislature, but Superior Court Judge John Ruhl rejected the city's arguments.[70] "To the extent that the Ordinance purports to impose a tax on the 'privilege' of receiving pay for labor, such a 'privilege' is not a valid basis for an excise tax," he said in his November 2017 ruling on the combined lawsuits. "In short, the city's tax, which is labeled, 'Income Tax,' is exactly that. It cannot be restyled as an 'excise tax' on the alternate 'privileges' of receiving revenue or choosing to live in Seattle."[68]
