CM Mark Solomon

Congrats to Councilmember-Elect Eddie Lin! As I depart, please know that I’m impressed by his enthusiasm, devotion to community & commitment to public service. I look forward to watching his passion for Seattle shape better outcomes for our community. Until we meet again, may the Force be with you!

I’m happy to share that the 2026 budget, passed on 11/21, includes $2.1 million for a community health clinic in Rainier Beach. This money will fund infrastructure improvements at the Tubman Center for Health & Freedom’s new clinic. More details available: us12.campaign-archive.com?u=11a79978ca...

Hi Jason, happy to talk about this more. You should still have my email, but just in case, it's: christine.hendrickson@seattle.gov

No. This was by no means an "official response" about gun violence. It was simply a request for folks to take the survey in hopes of accurate data reaching SPD. If you'd like to learn more about the ways we've been working in community to support public safety, feel free to email me. - Chris

Please take @seattleu.edu's Public Safety Survey before it closes on 11/30. Let's ensure that SPD is able to receive an abundance of accurate, authentic information on how you feel about public safety in your neighborhood. Make sure your voice is heard! 📣
