What’s on your mind? Let’s talk on Ask the Mayor
One of the things I enjoy most about my job is getting out into Seattle’s neighborhoods, talking with neighbors and business owners and hearing about what matters most to the community. But I can’t always reach everyone. That’s why Ask the Mayor, a monthly call-in show on Seattle Channel, makes it easy for me to hear what’s on your mind and answer your questions.
Have a question about the proposed sports arena, what the City is doing to respond to recent violent crime, extended bar hours, replacing the seawall or any city subject that matters to you? Ask the Mayor is a simple and convenient way to engage in civic conversation.
This month’s show will air live, 7 to 8 p.m., Wednesday, April 25th on Cable Seattle Channel 21 or online. There are several ways to submit your question:
- Call (206) 684-8821 between 7 and 8 p.m. on April 25th
- Email askthemayor@seattle.gov
- Tweet @SeattleChannel, #AsktheMayor
- Leave a comment on Seattle Channel’s Facebook page

I can add 6mpg hwy & 10mpg in town with an extra 150hp to V8 gas Ford, Chevy & Chrysler vehicles with factory warranty continuance. Large Family Highway Hybrids with Towing capability. Reduce gas consumption from 30% to 50%.I have 3 test vehicles that I give test drives by appointment.2007 Corvette 34mpg hwy-43mpg around town 750hp-2008 Corvette 32mpg hwy 40 around town 775hp-2009 Silverado 28mpg hwy-32 around town -18mpg towing 6,000 lbs -500hp-550tq
Reduce emissions 75% on light duty fleet gas vehicles.4 upgraded vehicles will have the emission footprint of one stock vehicle. Payback at 150,000 miles by gas savings, increased resale value,& increased performance. Would you decrease your emissions if it cost you nothing?
A Patented Solution Designed For Gas Light Duty Fleet Sustainability CO =-87% THC=-88% NMHC=-89%
This system is good for most cars & trucks. Propane conversions,electric hybrids, natural gas, & diesel. If we improve what we have we can do it now with the vehicles that we currently own or order new with factory warranty continuance.It is here now , we don’t have to re-invent the wheel. Yes it is just bridging the gap for now, but with more hp you can use smaller engines that will save you even more. The systems are good for 300,000 miles before they are refreshed with new turbos for another 300,000 miles.Gene

Why are we spending money on building new public transportation like the First Hill Streetcar when we can’t adequately fund the public transportation that already exists in our city?

I am opposed to the use of drones by the Seattle Police Department. No matter how benign or “limited” they claim the use will be this initial use is odious and invasive without any oversight proposed at all. The Mayor and the City Council must control this invasion of the privacy of all citizens of Seattle.

Dear Mayor, Thank you for listening, I have been in communication with the Parks Dept. regarding their dumping and spreading course sand and fine gravel over the west 300 yards of Alki beach. I will be sending them our community response Monday which will lay out the environmental impacts and solutions where actions can be taken.
Bottom line there was a lack of communication and incompetence in actually addressing the underlying corrective actions that the community is living with. And it happened in 2010 as well!

Why the insistence on rail? Who gets the funding and maybe kickbacks? Why do so many other communities switch to trackless trolleys but not Seattle?
The recent derailment of the link lightrail train do to debris from heavy rain indicates that this is not the way to go, especially for a mayor who wants more bicycle riders. Rails on roads is less safe for almost all other means of transportation. If you must have rails, put them underground like other world-class cities, you know like the tube in London, subway in New York, etc.
By dropping the elevated section of SR99 (known as the Alaskan Way Viaduct) and allowing developers to have their way without paying for the necessary increased costs in infrastructure (such as the plans for Yesler Terrace), Seattle is changing from a world-class city to a 3rd class city.
Reverse this policy before it is too late!
