The Brief

FOX 13 Seattle projects challenger Katie Wilson will unseat incumbent Mayor Bruce Harrell, currently leading by 1,976 votes (50.19% to 49.48%), a margin considered mathematically insurmountable for Harrell.

Mayor Harrell is scheduled to provide an address to the city on Thursday at 12 p.m. PST.

While Wilson's lead of 1,976 votes is within the mandatory recount threshold of 2,000 votes, the margin difference of 0.71% is above the 0.5% necessary to trigger an automatic, publicly funded recount.

SEATTLE - Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell is expected to make a public address at noon Thursday, following projections that challenger Katie Wilson will unseat him in one of the closest mayoral contests in recent city history.
