- [KCRHA Needs Outcomes, Not Just Accounting](https://www.theseattlejournal.com/kcrha-needs-outcomes-not-just-accounting/) - KCRHA needs more than clean books. Seattle and King County should require shared data, triage, cost tracking and measurable outcomes.
- [Ranked-Choice Voting: More Choice or a Better Echo Chamber?](https://www.theseattlejournal.com/ranked-choice-voting-seattle-primaries-2027/) - Seattle will use ranked-choice voting in 2027 city primaries. But will RCV create real pluralism or simply refine the same narrow political choices?
