flag Seattle faces potential 5%-10% budget cuts due to a growing deficit, with tax increases under consideration.

flag Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson is considering 5% to 10% budget cuts across city departments due to a projected $140 million deficit in 2027, potentially rising to over $300 million by 2029, driven by declining tax revenues, rising labor costs, and pandemic-era spending. flag While no cuts are finalized and officials aim to avoid across-the-board reductions, all options—including program eliminations—are under review. flag Wilson continues pushing for new taxes on wealthier residents and corporations. flag The city’s 2026 budget, totaling $8.9 billion, was approved unanimously in November 2025.
