A Seattle Democratic councilmember says he is “gravely concerned” after previously welcoming Mayor Katie Wilson’s “change.” Rob Saka, who said at the time that he approved of Wilson’s “energy,” now expresses concern about reports that wealthy individuals and large businesses are leaving the city. Fox News and the New York Post both report that Saka’s position has shifted, with his current comments focusing on potential economic impacts of a “billionaire exodus.” The coverage describes Saka’s new concern in broad terms, without citing detailed figures or specific counts of who has left. Both outlets frame the remarks as a change from his earlier, more supportive stance toward Wilson’s approach. The reporting centers on Saka’s statements and does not add concrete evidence beyond the claim that an exodus is occurring. Overall, the accounts depict a Democratic lawmaker reassessing the economic effects of Wilson’s administration amid public discussion of whether major wealth is moving away from Seattle.
