After five rounds of voting, the Seattle City Council has just appointed Mark Solomon to fill the District 2 seat from which Tammy Morales recently resigned. You might recall Solomon from his years as Southwest Precinct crime-prevention coordinator, a civilian role he has continued to fill for the South Precinct. He’s sought council positions before, both in elections (losing to Morales in 2019) and in application/nomination processes like this one (such as the citywide Position 8 process a year ago), but this will be his first time serving. Solomon was the choice of District 1 Councilmember Rob Saka throughout this morning’s voting and was the top votegetter throughout, but stuck at four of eight votes until the last round. He will have the job until someone is elected in November to fill the remaining two years of Morales’s term.
Former Southwest Precinct crime-prevention coordinator Mark Solomon has been appointed to the Seattle City Council, bringing his expertise in community safety and crime prevention to the forefront of city governance.
Solomon, who previously served as the liaison between law enforcement and the community in West Seattle, will now be representing the interests of residents across the city. His experience in working closely with neighborhoods to address public safety concerns makes him a valuable addition to the council.
As a longtime advocate for community policing and crime prevention strategies, Solomon is well-equipped to address the pressing issues facing Seattle, including rising crime rates and the need for effective law enforcement tactics.
We look forward to seeing how Solomon’s unique perspective and dedication to serving the community will shape the future of our city. Stay tuned for updates on his work and initiatives as a member of the Seattle City Council.
