Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson is facing a legal petition for her recall after official charges were submitted to the King County Elections office Tuesday, with allegations that the first-year executive is failing her obligations to the public's safety. The petition, filed by Melinda Jacobson and Dale Osterud, asserts that Wilson is not following the Seattle City Charter's mandate requiring the mayor to enforce city laws and maintain peace. The allegations focus on decisions made during her first eight months in office, ranging from police leadership changes to neighborhood crime responses. justthenews.com
