Team Hollingsworth is dealing with an injury to a key player.
District 3 Councilmember Joy Hollingsworth has been on crutches after two weeks getting around the power corridors of Seattle on a mobility scooter after tearing her calf muscle.
She did not injure herself arguing with Stranger editors on Twitter.
The standout basketball player who even spent a short time as a pro in Greece says it wasn’t the most athletic moment that landed her on Seattle City Hall’s injured list.
The first-year council member said she was running across the street when her muscle “snapped.”
Despite the injury, it has been a busy four months for the freshman legislator. CHS reported here on the first legislation handled by her parks committee and the formation of her office team along with priorities centered on transparency and accessibility.
The injury might make the accessibility part a bigger challenge but Hollingsworth appears game not to let the tear get her down. She is scheduled to take part in a public safety walk on Capitol Hill later this week.
