Seattle mayoral election, 2009
The 2009 Seattle mayoral election took place November 3, 2009.
Incumbent Mayor Greg Nickels sought reelection but finished third in the August 18, 2009 primary election. The general election was instead between Joe Mallahan and Michael McGinn.〔(MyNorthwest.com )〕 After a very close initial count, McGinn beat Mallahan in the election, becoming Seattle's next mayor.
==Background==
In a November 2008 poll of likely Seattle voters, 31% approved of Nickels's performance as mayor while 57% disapproved. A January 2009 poll found a net job approval of minus 33.
Nickels' administration was faulted for not doing enough to prevent the Seattle SuperSonics NBA franchise from relocating to Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Nickels was also heavily criticized for the city's policy of not using salt for snow removal due to potential environmental concerns, which contributed to the city's congested traffic in December 2008 after one of the greatest snowfalls in the city since 1996. The Proposed replacement of the Alaskan Way Viaduct and a tax on plastic bags at grocery stores were two key issues of the campaign.
