Photos: Your newest Seattle city leaders

Thanks to West Seattleite Bill Schrier – also the city’s Chief Technology Officer and the 34th District Democrats‘ webmaster – for sharing photos from this afternoon’s swearing-in ceremony at City Hall; we were a few blocks away at the County Council appointment vote. Mayor Mike McGinn was sworn in by two of his children, Cian and Miyo; City Attorney Pete Holmes was sworn in by his wife, Ann M. Holmes:

You have two new councilmembers too – Mike O’Brien, sworn in by Carolyn Cairns:

And Sally Bagshaw, whose oath was administered by Rev. Dr. Sanford W. Brown:

Seattle Channel video is here; also taking the oath of office today, re-elected councilmembers Richard Conlin and Nick Licata. If you couldn’t make it to this afternoon’s event either, the mayor’s inviting you to a City Hall open house this Saturday, 1-5 pm; he’s planning a speech from the building’s Grand Staircase at 3.

    McGinn has 3 kids, two boys (Jack and Cian) and one girl (Miyo). Please correct your post. Thanks.

    yes, Mike said that Jack was operating the video; he was sitting next to his mom; it was a fabulous ceremony involving all 3 kids; Mike then spoke about the importance of our children; the whole thing was very impressive and touching

Sorry, comment time is over.
