A Capitol Hill architect with progressive and urbanist bona fides is launching a longshot campaign to lead the city.
Andrew Grant Houston — known as Ace — announced his campaign for Mayor of Seattle Tuesday morning:
His decision to run comes after years of advocacy for more housing at all income levels and a lack of response to the climate crisis this past September, when the Puget Sound registered the worst AQI score the region has ever seen. Andrew is a queer Black and Latino Architect, small business owner, and activist with a vision of transforming Seattle into one of the most vibrant, sustainable cities in the world: a city where no one has to sleep outside, where local businesses and culture thrive, and where orcas start to visit once again.
