Sable:

It’s no secret that Seattle Mayor Mike McGinn has struggled since taking office at the beginning of the year.

He upset city council- and a lot of residents when he announced a plan to replace the seawall.

A group of well organized city employees started their own website when the Mayor announced he was going to give them the axe for reasons that were questionable at best.
