Seattle (i/siˈætəl/) is a West Coast seaport city and the seat of King County. With an estimated 662,400 residents as of 2015, Seattle is the largest city in both the state of Washington and the Pacific Northwest region of North America. In July 2013 it was the fastest-growing major city in the United States, and remained in the top five in May 2015 with an annual growth rate of 2.1%. The Seattle metropolitan area of around 3.6 million inhabitants is the 15th largest metropolitan area in the United States. The city is situated on an isthmus between Puget Sound (an inlet of the Pacific Ocean) and Lake Washington, about 100 miles (160 km) south of the Canada–United States border. A major gateway for trade with Asia, Seattle is the third largest port in North America in terms of container handling as of 2015.
The Seattle area was previously inhabited by Native Americans for at least 4,000 years before the first permanent European settlers.Arthur A. Denny and his group of travelers, subsequently known as the Denny Party, arrived from Illinois via Portland, Oregon on the schooner Exact at Alki Point on November 13, 1851. The settlement was moved to the eastern shore of Elliott Bay and named "Seattle" in 1852, after Chief Si'ahl of the local Duwamish and Suquamish tribes.
A city council, town council, town board, or board of aldermen is the legislative body that governs a city, town, municipality or local government area.
Because of the differences in legislation between the States, the exact definition of a City Council varies. However, it is generally only those local government areas which have been specifically granted city status (usually on a basis of population) that are entitled to refer to themselves as cities. The official title is "Corporation of the City of ------" or similar.
Some of the larger urban areas of Australia are governed mostly by a single entity (see Brisbane and other Queensland cities), while others maybe controlled by a multitude of much smaller city councils. Also some significant urban areas can be under the jurisdiction of otherwise rural local governments. Periodic re-alignments of boundaries attempt to rationalize these situations and adjust the deployment of assets and resources.
Local councils in New Zealand do vary in structure, but are overseen by the government department Local Government New Zealand. For many decades until the local government reforms of 1989, a borough with more than 20,000 people could be proclaimed a city. The boundaries of councils tended to follow the edge of the built-up area, so little distinction was made between the urban area and the local government area.
The woman who claims that she was sexually harassed by our lord and saviour, Hugh Mungus, was kicked out of a Seattle City Council meeting after losing her shit, again.
I know, I know, I know...enough about Zarna Joshi...but this woman is certifiable. On Halloween Day, she was in attendance of a Seattle City Council meeting and was asked to leave after she went on a psychotic tirade, accusing the Seattle PD of sending white supremacists, and racists after her directly. Not only that, but in her youtube video rants, she's showcasing "cult like" mentalities that are honestly frightening. Hugh Mungus is better off with only the little interaction they had together. http://bluelivesmatter.blue/zarna-joshi-hugh-mungus-seattle/ https://www.facebook.com/182045735578104/videos/191160068000004/ https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=191886947927316&id;=182045735578104 ► Support me on Patreon - http://patreon.com/MundaneMatt ► Help me get new gear wi...
http://www.democracynow.org - Seattle made history this week by passing the $15-an-hour minimum wage — the highest rate in the country for a major city, and more than twice the federal minimum. The raise will be phased in over time. Seattle businesses will have three to seven years to implement it, depending on their size. The plan also includes several loopholes for businesses, which were fought until the last minute by Seattle City Council Member Kshama Sawant, the first socialist to be elected to the council in a century. Sawant ran for City Council last year on a platform of raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour. She join us from Seattle.

http://christopher-king.blogspot.com/2014/03/kingcast-says-seattle-still-has-serious.html 5 May 2014 -- Nothing like a little tagging in front of your building, right. Meanwhile my assault complaint from late April against an idiot in our building who was off his meds has not been assigned after 12 days. They are forcing him to leave but the clincher is that the apartment management company knew he was an issue, whoops. City Council President cut me off rudely when I raised these issues. Video forthcoming.WTF is wrong with this town? I love it in general but I am not without my legitimate concerns. Look how goddamn pretty Ol Yaller was two years ago,(watch the video) and during my incredible ride to Seattle from Providence, RI last year.... until it got here. Now he's just totally irre...
I documented Seattle City Council security police using physical force against citizens who oppose spending $160 million on a new police "bunker". Minor injuries were reported. Black Lives Matter protesters respond by protesting and shutting down the meeting at Seattle City Hall. The military style police building has offended many residents of the city. Protesters use hashtag #StopTheBunker at Twitter. Seattle City Council member Bruce Harrell personally intervened between security and protesters. Yes that is my voice saying, "If the people want to speak, the city council should let them speak!" Earlier I was blocked from entering the city council chambers by City Hall security, so I was unable to report live on what was happening in the room. The Seattle Channel was shut off during pa...

July 14, 2008...12 days after former Seattle Mayor Greg Nickels sold out our NBA basketball team, the SuperSonics to Oklahoma City, the City Council had a chance to rescind the deal...But chose to ignore the fact that they were selling out not only our city & our team for a mere $45 million dollars, but also our storied history to the robber barons from OKC. It's painful to watch, but will get you even more fired up and ready to act with your votes. Remember...7 out of these 9 are still serving in their same position and some are up for reelection soon.

Remember Zarna Joshi, the social vengeance cry-bully who caused a humungous ruckus and went viral in late summer of 2016? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_DUJw8EgKE She slunk away in disgrace and self-pity for an all too brief two and a half months, only to resurface again in late October and early November 2016. On Halloween 2016, Zarna Joshi, a notorious social vengeance warrior for feminism and BLM, showed up at a city council meeting to spread her hate speech. She made such an obnoxious racist and sexist brat of herself, and got deservedly kicked out. The infamous cry-bully hurled egregious, spurious accusations against cops in general and against their response to the racist movement known as "black lives matter" the "blue lives matter" movement, then she was heard shouting "Don't...
This is a different perspective of Zarna Joshi's hilarious rant on the Seattle City Council. Please like and enjoy.
Well, she's back but that Jedi mind trick she pulled with Hugh Mungus doesn't seem to work with the Seattle City Council.

City officials lie on and on again
Down in my city, the rent has gone up again
Hide behind false words no more
What the fuck do you take us for
Council - you bastards control the waterfront
Don't let them tear you down
Tried to protest, it seems all in vain
This rent increase I can't afford to pay
The please I live is hip today
In comes the rich the poor has to go away
Down at city hall I state my case
The city council has all been paid
They stand for the people, so they say
You filthy liars, I hope you rot in hell
Council - you bastards control the waterfront
Don't let them tear you down
Rent control petitions and off to court we go
The judge takes our side, our voice has been heard
This city knows of the council's illegal ways
