Seattle city government · 2015–2026

Who moved city government—and what did they do?

LegisRate turns Seattle’s official record into public scorecards for the people and institutions that shape city policy. Every point leads back to a bill, executive order, or other official action and shows how it was evaluated.

What LegisRate does

One record of city action, with different powers kept distinct.

The Council and mayor do different jobs. LegisRate follows both sides of Seattle city government without collapsing them into one number: Council scorecards measure sponsored successful legislation, while mayoral scorecards separately show administration-period legislation and signed executive orders.

The four shared factors—reach, fiscal scale, legal durability, and institutional scope—make individual actions comparable. Source links, factor decisions, sponsorship timing, and coverage limits remain visible so a score can be audited rather than merely accepted.

Historical coverage note. Standalone Council Budget Action sheets from 2015–2022 are excluded from public scores because equivalent standalone records are not available across 2023–2026. The historical inventories remain preserved for audit. See the coverage boundary.
