SEATTLE — Urban planner and civic leader Cary Moon has announced she’s running for Seattle mayor.
She joins former Seattle Mayor Mike McGinn, who announced his campaign Monday.
Seattle Mayor Ed Murray is also running for reelection.
Moon cites traffic congestion, expensive rents, surging homelessness, gender and racial inequity, and economic disparity as some of the city’s biggest challenges.
I’m running for mayor because I feel an immense duty and responsibility to ensure Seattle, our beautiful, vibrant, diverse city, works for everyone. I will listen and take honest stock of the challenges facing our city, and I will use my expertise as an urban planner, engineer and civic leader to develop strategies that strike Seattle’s problems at their root cause, not just address the symptoms,” Moon said in a news release Wednesday.
Moon will be holding a virtual Town Hall on April 27.
She is a member of, but currently on a leave of absence from, the board of directors of the Progress Alliance and the One Center City Advisory Board.
