A petition aiming to recall Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson is withdrawn, preventing a recall proceeding “for now.” The withdrawal comes about a month after two voters accused Wilson of failing to perform her public-safety duties, according to one report.
The Washington Times says the petitioners ask a judge to withdraw the filing days before a scheduled hearing. The Daily Mail characterizes the recall effort as involving an error by organizers, but both outlets agree on the core point: the recall is no longer moving forward at this stage because the petition is pulled from court. As a result, Wilson remains in office while the dispute is halted.
