BLOG: A Night at the Executive Excellence Awards

February 8, 2013 By Northwest Asian Weekly

McGinn ushers in an ‘open source’ transition

November 19, 2009 By Northwest Asian Weekly

“[Seattle Mayor-elect Mike] McGinn explained that rather than making courtesy calls to all the council members, he thought it better to just walk over and meet face to face on a casual basis,” said Seattle City Councilmember Nick Licata in a release. “This is a departure from Mayor Nickel’s style, which was to rely more on his deputy mayor Tim Ceis to walk the council hallway.”
