Seattle City Councilmember Tammy J. Morales comments on 2023-2024 city budget

Councilmember Teresa Mosqueda, Chair of the Budget Committee, will unveil the balancing package for the proposed 2023-24 budget for the City of Seattle.

Since September 28, 2022, the Council has held two public hearings, eight public meetings, and Councilmembers have proposed 100 amendments. Now, it’s up to the budget chair to propose a “balancing package” -- a proposal for a balanced budget that factors in all the input she’s received, as well as her priorities.

Due to the recent dire revenue forecast, Council Budget Chair Mosqueda has had to take on the additional responsibility of balancing the budget with an existing $141 million operating budget deficit in 2023 and $152 million deficit in 2024 before the forecast, and now over $82 million less than when the Mayor made his initial budget proposal back in September.
