Tammy Vs. Tanya

Thursday night, South Seattle Emerald (@SoSeaEmerald) hosted a really dynamic Seattle City Council D2 debate between incumbent Tammy Morales (@CMTammyMorales, @TammyMoralesSEA) and challenger Tanya Woo (@votetanyawoo.) Most of the questions centered around crime, homelessness, and the troubled 12th Ave & Jackson St. intersection. Both candidates were ready to go and went after each other. But I think this final question caught them both off guard. I’ll be breaking out more highlights and analysis. Stay tuned.
