Mayor Harrell released his proposed 2025-2026 city budget last month. Seattle Neighborhood Greenways is working with the Seattle Solidarity Budget Coalition to push the City Council to amend the Mayor's proposed budget to reflect better our shared values of safety, equity, and sustainability. This year's budget includes cuts to housing and services, layoffs, a noted shift away from upstream solutions and towards enforcement and criminalization, and a lack of new progressive revenue despite dramatic budget shortfalls (more from The Urbanist).
