Mayor Katie Wilson announced she’ll proceed with an expansion of police surveillance in the Central District, Capitol Hill, and SoDo (where cameras are already installed), subject to a handful of new requirements that were outlined in the NYU Policing Project’s civil-rights audit, released yesterday. The decision, Wilson said, was part of “making Seattle the safest big city in the country—safe from gun violence and serious crime, and safe from authoritarianism from the federal government.” The expansion was proposed by former mayor Bruce Harrell but put on “pause” shortly after Wilson took office.
