FOX 13 is tracking key races across Washington state in the 2023 General Election, including seven Seattle City Council seats, a Seattle housing levy, a Tacoma measure on tenant rights, Snohomish County sheriff and executive, and Spokane mayor.
There will be a shakeup on the Seattle City Council which has seven of nine seats up for grabs. There will be four new members with open races in districts 1, 3, 4 and 5.
The levy will address Seattle's need for more affordable housing. The renewal would raise the levy's tax rate on assessed property value from 14 cents per $1,000 to 45 cents per $1,000.Key races to watch on Election Day Supporters of Measure 1 including groups like Democratic Socialist of America say Tacoma residents are experiencing the most evictions and rent continues to increase.
Also, if the rent goes up by more than 5%, they have to pay two months worth of rent to help relocate a tenant who cannot afford the increase.
