Biographical NoteReturn to Top

Ed Murray served as mayor of Seattle from 2014 to 2017. He was born in 1955 in Aberdeen, Washington, and grew up in West Seattle and Lacey. After graduating from the University of Portland, he began working in the legal field in Portland and Seattle. He transitioned into involvement in local politics, managing the winning campaign for Washington State House candidate Cal Anderson. Murray also worked in city government as a legislative aide to Seattle City Councilmember Martha Choe. When Cal Anderson passed away in 1995, Murray campaigned to fill his seat representing the 43rd district in the state Senate. He did not win the election, but was appointed to fill the House seat for the 43rd, which was vacated by the candidate who won the Senate seat. He continued serving in the House through 2006, when he won the 43rd district Senate seat. He remained in the state Senate until taking office in 2014 as the city's 53rd mayor. Murray was Seattle's first openly gay mayor. Major issues and projects during his term included the Alaskan Way Viaduct replacement project, reform of the Police Department, affordable housing, changes in land use and zoning, and homelessness. Murray resigned from office on September 13, 2017.

Content DescriptionReturn to Top

Records from various mayoral staffers during Ed Murray's term in office. Public safety issues are heavily represented, including police accountability legislation, the Department of Justice consent decree, police and fire hiring equity, youth violence, emergency management, and the downtown 9 1/2 block strategy. Other topics include public health, homelessness and encampments, central waterfront development, transportation, labor relations, parks, utilities, education, and LGBTQ issues. Some records document mayoral office organization, priorities, and projects.

Forty digital images, taken by photographer Arthur Bacon, show day to day life in encampments.

Arrangement

Records are arranged by staff member. Boxes accessioned into the archives from the Mayor's Office were designated by originating staff member; however, in some cases files from other staffers appeared to be mixed in, so not all records in a staffer's subseries may have come from that person.
