SEATTLE (AP) — Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson may oust the city’s police chief following public criticism over the response to a fatal shootout at a crowded food festival under the Space Needle. Secrest was not present for the conversation but learned of it Wednesday from Barnes’ chief of staff, she said. Barnes told The Seattle Times on Thursday that whether he remains chief is “up to the mayor.” The tension between the mayor and police chief comes as Seattle heads into another big festival weekend. Seafair Weekend Festival 2026 — a boating event, air show and festival — starts Friday.
