Assistant City Attorney Eddie Lin announced his campaign for the District 2 city council seat on Tuesday.  After being nominated but ultimately not selected by the Seattle City Council for the interim District 2 position last month, Lin’s bid for the seat is now in the hands of the Seattle constituents come November.

Lin's experience in the City Attorney's Office has provided him with insights into city government operations. Specializing in real estate law, he has contributed to major infrastructure projects, including the waterfront redevelopment. For the past five years, he has worked full-time with the Office of Housing, advising on affordable housing projects and programs. This experience has given him knowledge of housing development, market incentive programs, and challenges facing Seattle's housing market.
