The 2021 election will determine Seattle’s transportation future + Endorsements roundup

In 2024, voters will likely be asked to fund Seattle’s renewed vision for transportation. The 2015 Move Seattle Levy will be set to expire, and it will need to be replaced by a new measure. Ballots are in the mail, and Seattle voters will elect the leaders who will craft that new transportation vision. Every mayoral and council election is important for safe streets, but this one is especially important.

So if you don’t receive your ballot in the next week or forgot to update your address, go the King County elections website and request a new one. If you are new to town, you can register to vote online until October 25. After that, you can register in-person at an election center up until and including election day November 2. If you’re not sure about the status of your registration, you can check online.

Below is a roundup of election endorsements from some transportation-minded organizations in the area: Seattle Bike Blog (SBB), Washington Bikes (WB), The Urbanist (U), The Seattle Transit Riders Union (TRU) and Seattle Subway (SUB). More write-ups are coming for Seattle Bike Blog endorsements in key races, so stay tuned.
