"Seattle City Council Appoints Tanya Woo to Fill Vacant Seat"

Tanya Woo, a small business owner and activist in the Chinatown-International District, has been chosen to fill the vacant seat on the Seattle City Council until the next election in November. Her selection has sparked controversy, with some criticizing the influence of big business in the decision-making process. Woo, who has a focus on public safety, aims to bring collaboration and unity to the council. The move reflects a broader political shift in Seattle, with a supermajority of centrist candidates winning in the last election.
