Holding Seattle’s Leaders Accountable.
Seattle Rage is a citizen-led project documenting the city and county government’s lack of care for residents across the greater Seattle area. We collect verifiable evidence, build timelines, and amplify voices too often ignored.
This is a nonpartisan watchdog site. We publish facts, sources, and receipts. Strong opinions, zero violence or harassment.
What we do
We aggregate public records, budget data, inspection reports, and lived experiences to reveal patterns of neglect impacting safety, housing, infrastructure, and trust. Each claim links to sources so readers can verify for themselves.
Code of conduct
- No doxxing, stalking, or targeted harassment.
- Focus on actions, votes, budgets, and outcomes.
- Protect whistleblowers and vulnerable residents.
- Credit sources; fix mistakes quickly.
