As Seattle heads toward the upcoming mayoral election, The Stranger remains committed to helping readers sift through the avalanche of campaign rhetoric, ideological furor, and implicit media bias that has already begun to corrupt the process. In that spirit, we present our newest community engagement feature: “Who Said It?” in which we pair the actual words of candidates with those of noteworthy historical figures, the better to allow the voting public to make up its own mind.
WHO SAID IT: Jane Birkin (English/French actress/model/musician who came to prominence in the 1960s for her work with then-spouse Serge Gainsbourg) or Jenny Durkan (former US Attorney for Western Washington and current Seattle mayoral candidate)?
