What Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan’s Short Tenure Says About Running a Tech Hub | Seattle RE odcast

Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan sought to build a bridge between the tech industry and its harshest critics in the divided city during her first term. In a one-week tech blitz last year, Durkan paid visits to Amazon, Expedia, and Apple’s downtown campuses to celebrate the rapid growth of the tech sector. She also invited top tech companies to build municipal products and advise the city.

But Durkan, who announced last week that she will not seek a second term, made few friends in her attempts to balance Seattle’s competing ideological branches.

The Seattle business community threw its influence and financial weight behind Durkan during her candidacy, helping her soar to victory in 2017 with 56% of the vote. Despite that support, Durkan did not emerge as the business-friendly ally at City Hall that many expected, some community leaders told GeekWire in interviews for this story. But others said she did her best to create a welcoming environment for business in the face of difficult obstacles.
