SEATTLE โ€” Seattle Council member Sara Nelson verbally attacked her council colleague Tammy Morales in a morning press conference, highlighting the public safety issues in her district, and contending that she needs to be voted out to improve it.

It was a stark and unusually strong comment by one council colleague about another in what was a loosely disguised campaign event for Moralesโ€™ challenger Tanya Woo.

It also signaled the City Council campaign, at least in this district, is going to weigh heavily on public safety issues, after a recent string of mass shootings, home invasion robberies, and the open-air drug market in the Little Saigon neighborhood.
