District 4 covers everything from the little north-end nub of Eastlake all the way up to Sand Point, with the University District, Ravenna, Wallingford, and Wedgwood all snuggled in between. It’s a district of dichotomies. There are the students of the University of Washington and the single-family homes in Bryant. There are about to be three light rail stations and insane transit access, while drivers in the district just waged a successful fight to kill two bike lanes on one dangerous thoroughfare. District 4 will see a ton of change in the coming years, and this race will decide how, exactly, this area will change.
Shaun Scott will see to it that we’ll all be living in an urbanist’s wet dream: an equal opportunity, climate-sanity-focused, transit-driven utopia.
