🚨Mayor Wilson double downs Tuesday and rejects claim her staff delayed Sunday briefing for ‘dignitaries’ yet falls flat on reasoning, still evades on who made the decision Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson on Tuesday again denied that anyone in her office blocked the Seattle Police Department from holding an immediate news conference Sunday night after the gang-related mass shooting at the Bite of Seattle festival. A reporter confronted Wilson with new information that between 7:45 and 8 p.m., alleging that someone from the mayor’s office told SPD leadership they could not proceed with a press conference that police wanted to hold right away, citing the arrival of “dignitaries.” “That is not my understanding, no,” Wilson said. Mayor Wilson told reporters Tuesday that there was extensive back-and-forth among her office, police and state and federal elected officials as they coordinated a response. Wilson said authorities were conducting an active search for suspects at Seattle Center and that she was told it would not be helpful for her or other elected officials to arrive at the scene during that time. “We went back and forth and eventually landed on an appropriate time to address the press and to share information,” she said. “That is my understanding.” Pressed further on whether her office issued any order that effectively prevented police from speaking sooner, Wilson referred reporters to her earlier answer. A second reporter shared with Mayor Wilson at the presser that "what makes it difficult to believe" her explanation on the delay is that SPD personnel have received extensive training and paid tens of thousands of dollars to consultants on crisis communication, to conducting pressers without her nor other "dignitaries" needed to be present. Wilson has and is facing repeated criticism about the delay of the presser to be used as a photo op for politicians instead of expediting the pubic safety information to residents. The delay in waiting for "dignitaries" statement from an SPD spokesperson was also captured by Jeremy Harris of KOMO News later Sunday night on video.

Let's hear what others are saying about Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson's terrible, horrible, no good, very bad week; Seattle Councilwoman Juarez: "I see a complete lack of leadership and for us, a 'No Confidence' in this administration...I'll say it again on the record; I don't think that this mayor has made the transition from activist, to campaign, to Mayor Wilson." Seattle Council President Hollingsworth: "I believe this decision to ask a police chief to resign, or to let him go, is irresponsible and a tad bit reckless, and put's us in a very difficult position as a city." Seattle Councilwoman Rivera: "It is unacceptable for this amount of time to occur without confirmation from her office, as to whether or not we are indeed going to have Chief Barnes as police chief, or what the plan is if he is not going to be." Seattle Councilman Saka: "I am personally disappointed and deeply concerned with the Mayor's decision to remove a police chief in this time." Seattle Councilman Kettle: "The people of Seattle deserve better, and they deserve reliable leadership, especially as we close out a busy summer of public events." Governor Ferguson: 'It wasn't me that delayed the public for 5 hours. No comment on the Mayor and the Chief, but I personally have a good relationship with my head of Washington State Patrol.' Seattle Police Officer's Guild: "Seattle deserves a mayor focused on preventing the next tragedy - not managing the next political crisis. Unfortunately, Mayor Katie has made it clear that public safety is not her administration's priority." Former State Representative Dawn mason: "How is she going to hire a new police chief under these circumstances. Who would want to work for the city?" By far, the biggest criticism of Mayor Wilson came from longtime Councilwoman Debora Juarez, which is why we have attached her interview with KOMO's Chris Daniels. We'd also like to recognize that Daniels is responsible for interviewing all of the people quoted above (except SPOG), in separate interviews which you can find at Chris Daniels | KOMO News 'Councilmember Juarez reacts to Mayor Katie Wilson asking Seattle Police Chief Shon Barnes to resign'
