Seattle Mayor Ed Murray today visited the Seattle City Council to present his 2017 City budget proposal and lay out a vision for Seattle focused on safety, livability, affordability, equity, innovation and good governance.

“We have come together to face numerous challenges, pass progressive measures and implement significant best practices and innovations,” Mayor Murray said. “Our task now is not just to show that progressives can work together to think big ideas, but to show how progressives can govern effectively to implement these ideas and get real results. This budget invests in good governance and innovation – not as isolated pockets of excellence but as our method of operations across City government.”
