- primera ciudad USA en elegir alcaldesa mujer...¡en 1926!
- primera ciudad USA en dar un cargo a una mujer negra abiertamente lesbiana.. impresionante: For the first time in United States history, an openly gay black woman was elected to public office. ya saben: los gustos sexuales son muy importantes para tener cargo..
- representados en el Congreso por la primera congresista India-Americana (y ésto te los cuentan los ANTIFA.. los "antirazistas", los que dicen que no existen las razas.. vuelvan a leer el punto anterior)salario mínimo más alto de los USA: $15.. que ya puestos podría ser $50 o $300

además la ciudad tiene estatua de Lenin (ese que se cargó al 10% de su pueblo.. un angelito, vamos):

Seattle's political culture is very liberal and progressive for the United States, with over 80% of the population voting for the Democratic Party. All precincts in Seattle voted for Democratic Party candidate Barack Obama in the 2012 presidential election.[263] In partisan elections for the Washington State Legislature and United States Congress, nearly all elections are won by Democrats. Although local elections are nonpartisan, most of the city's elected officials are known to be Democrats.
In 1926, Seattle became the first major American city to elect a female mayor, Bertha Knight Landes.[264] It has also elected an openly gay mayor, Ed Murray,[265] and a third-party socialist councillor, Kshama Sawant.[266] For the first time in United States history, an openly gay black woman was elected to public office when Sherry Harris was elected as a Seattle city councillor in 1991.[267][268] The majority of the city council is female.[269]
Federally, Seattle is split between two congressional districts. Most of the city is in Washington's 7th congressional district, represented by Democrat Pramila Jayapal, the first Indian-American woman elected to Congress.[270] She succeeded 28-year incumbent and fellow Democrat Jim McDermott. Part of southwestern Seattle is in the 9th District, represented by Democrat Adam Smith.
Seattle is widely considered one of the most socially liberal cities in the United States, even surpassing Portland.[271] In the 2012 U.S. general election, a majority of Seattleites voted to approve Referendum 74 and legalize gay marriage in Washington state.[272] In the same election, an overwhelming majority of Seattleites also voted to approve the legalization of the recreational use of cannabis in the state.[273] Like much of the Pacific Northwest (which has the lowest rate of church attendance in the United States and consistently reports the highest percentage of atheism[274][275]), church attendance, religious belief, and political influence of religious leaders are much lower than in other parts of America.[276]
In July 2012, Seattle banned plastic shopping bags.[277] In June 2014 the city passed a local ordinance to increase the minimum wage to $15 an hour on a staged basis from 2015 to 2021. When fully implemented the $15 hourly rate will be the highest minimum wage in the nation.[278]
On October 6, 2014, Seattle officially replaced Columbus Day with Indigenous Peoples' Day, honoring Seattle's Native American community and acknowledging the controversies surrounding the legacy of Christopher Columbus.[279][280]
