The 2025 Seattle mayoral election was held on November 4, 2025, with a primary election on August 5, 2025, to elect the mayor of Seattle. Incumbent Mayor Bruce Harrell ran for re-election to a second term and was challenged by community organizer Katie Wilson, who placed first in the August nonpartisan primary.
The Seattle Times and other outlets called the election for Wilson a week after election day, with Harrell conceding to Wilson on November 13. Wilson ultimately won by a margin of 0.73%, the closest mayoral election in Seattle by percentage since 1906.
