Seattle city government · Mayors
The city government record, mayor by mayor.
Each scorecard keeps two auditable records side by side: successful executive- or department-origin legislation finalized during the administration, and numbered executive orders signed by the mayor.
5mayors serving during the 2015–2026 legislative record
6476.0legislative points across the five administration-period records
88counted numbered executive orders across the five mayoral scorecards
306.0document-only executive-order points, kept separate from legislation
Two modules, two totals
Official actions without blending unlike powers
mayor legislative points = sum of reach + fiscal scale + legal durability + institutional scope
A successful measure enters a mayor’s scorecard only when the official source identifies an executive or department origin. It is assigned to the mayor in office on the enactment or adoption date. Each measure contributes zero to eight points; the Council sponsorship point is not included.
executive-order points = the same four factors applied only to the signed order’s direct act
The modules are displayed separately. Neither proves personal authorship, policy quality, successful implementation, or responsibility for citywide outcomes.

Current and future modules
Executive orders are now visible without swallowing the legislative record.
Numbered orders use the Clerk roster, page-cited direct acts, and the existing four significance factors.
Add signatures, unsigned returns, vetoes, and Council overrides as a distinct exercise of mayoral authority.
Compare proposals, adopted changes, delivery, and reported results without double-counting omnibus actions.
Mayoral term boundaries come from the Seattle Municipal Archives. Executive-order identities and PDFs come from the City Clerk database; the active Wilson roster is refreshed during site updates.
