Providing the latest insights and updates for stock traders across Canada actor and union representative Ry Armstrong rolled out a campaign challenging Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell who they argue has fallen well short of campaign promises made in 2021 The Urbanist recently sat down with Armstrong to find out what motivated them to run and what they are pushing to accomplish if elected “I’m just tired of the status quo,” Armstrong said “I am tired of broken promises by people who are in the pockets of corporate interests.” It’s a pattern that goes beyond Harrell with Armstrong tracing the trail of broken promises back through Seattle’s last three mayors to Ed Murray suggesting it explains the lack of progress on key issues Armstrong said members of the queer community asked them to run since LGBTQ folks are especially at risk with many of the issues facing the city and country “My number one issue is housing and homelessness,” Armstrong said Ed Murray calling an emergency on homelessness with a 10-year plan and homelessness is up 20% and specifically homeless is up even more than that.” Harrell pledged 2,000 additional homes for the homeless in his first year as mayor, piggybacking on Compassion Seattle, a ballot initiative that had strong business support but was struck down as illegal before it could appear on the ballot “I think [Harrell] offered 2,000 shelter beds in 2021 and never fulfilled that promise,” Armstrong said, boldly suggesting their administration could succeed where Harrell failed “I want to do 1,000 shelter beds in the first 100 days.” A campaign email from Armstrong underscored their shelter pledge and their hit on Harrell: the “current Mayor who promised 2,500 beds in their first term and has delivered 25 in 4 years.” Armstrong was critical of Harrell’s statements that he would seek to collaborate with Trump and the praise he offered Trump’s tech billionaire inner circle as “smart innovators.” “I will not compromise with Trump,” Armstrong said “He does not believe that trans people like me exist He wants to take us back to a time that never existed because trans people have always existed in history.” While Harrell has recently ramped up rhetoric against Trump Armstrong was unequivocal that collaborating with Trump’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) department was off the table ICE is tasked with making Trump’s mass deportation promises come true “I don’t know what Bruce is gonna do in his actions but I know what I would do,” Armstrong told The Urbanist “You would have to put me in jail before I start letting ICE raid our citizens in this city Like you would have to drag me kicking and screaming off to a concentration camp before I let anything happen to Seattle So I hope it doesn’t get to that point but I’m also prepared to fight.” The progressives that did advance in Seattle’s 2023 primary did not do well in the general election, with Tammy Morales the only councilmember to win on a progressive platform. Many observers (myself included) attributed the loss on progressive candidates being badly outspent and losing the messaging battle on key issues but not as badly as most 2023 progressive candidates Armstrong has also been working in union organizing and environmental advocacy: “As an elected National Councilor of AEA (AFL-CIO) and an MLK Labor Delegate of SAG-AFTRA, they have championed workers’ rights with integrity and purpose,” Armstrong’s campaign website states “They not only serve on the Seattle LGBTQ Commission and Co-Chair the Board of Theatre Puget Sound but they currently lead Sustainable Seattle (S2) one of our oldest environmental nonprofits View this post on Instagram A post shared by RY ARMSTRONG (@ryontheryse) “I think [Harrell’s] going to fight social housing tooth and nail and it does not help the richest among us,” Armstrong said “I think that social housing is that missing tool in the toolbox I will represent and support social housing 100% through and through.” Not enough of the Mayor’s Downtown Activation Plan (DAP) has focused on arts and culture which almost went under due to his negligence,” Armstrong said Ultimately, Theater Puget Sound was able to strike a deal, but it took a year of negotiating, Armstrong said, crediting Joy Hollingsworth and Marshall Foster with seeing negotiations through But the brinksmanship with a key resource for artists was troubling in their eyes “TPS is going to survive and be great but those affordable rehearsal spaces would have gone away,” Armstrong said “The investments we make are not actually in artists they’re in consultants or a nonprofit industrial complex that doesn’t actually see that dropdown effect So we need a bottom-up approach to the arts and that looks like social housing for the arts.” a better program would involve more opportunities for artists and musicians just starting out to get access to public venues The County’s arts levy will help considerably “Parks has this busking program with terrible marketing,” Armstrong said “No one actually knows who’s performing where in which parks and they’re paying these buskers to go play a set for two people If I had a theater company and we wanted to go perform in all the different parks and you can’t do more than six for that one show performances in all parks in Seattle the bureaucratic nature does not create a mechanism for arts to thrive except for in the institutional spaces of STG “People are walking from maybe Pioneer Square through the waterfront let loose into the city,” Armstrong said “I think we could connect a version of the High Line that then goes up and takes a little to Westlake or like let’s keep expanding what that experience could look like and make more pedestrianized spaces that people want to be in and experience.” the former Seattle Council President who lost to Harrell in 2021 Armstrong wants to expand economic revitalization efforts to focus on the entire city a big mistake that’s been made is that this huge four-year focus on revitalizing downtown to send us back into the past and pre-pandemic times is neglecting the neighborhoods,” Armstrong said I think if we actually invested in our neighborhoods again and made more density in those spaces maybe people could find pathways to permanent affordable housing and or even homeownership someday.” Seattle is likely to keep growing and booming economically but the question is whether it will invest in solving its biggest issues “The mountain is out right now; this is one of the most beautiful places in the world and one of the richest cities in human history and yet we can’t house 16,000 people and we can’t solve these crises,” Armstrong said “Why don’t we have the willpower And I think that comes from a mayor-heavy City Hall and I want to step up to challenge that.” The suit contends the City has botched the rollout of a new payroll system “You have seven unions suing the city for payroll issues,” Armstrong said “Why can’t our city run payroll I just think it needs a next generation of innovation and leadership that’s going to actually follow through and build out proper systems that support people over corporate interest.” “We need to innovate public safety in a new way — I think investments in community safety officers “I want to invest in a medical approach I think we will call 911 — I mean Shaun Scott has the bill on that state level this year — but people struggle choose who arrives.” with Jenny Durkan a college basketball player and Harrell a star football player at Garfield High School and at the University of Washington Harrell will clearly be the jock in the race but Armstrong thinks a theater kid can win and I think Seattle just needs some healing,” Armstrong said But jock vs theater kid is not the main differentiator in Armstrong’s eyes even if it makes for a great high school drama “I don’t really want to see it as going up against the jock,” Armstrong said I really just see him as a homegrown person who had some success So I think that just represents a different side of the city I’d be curious on the campaign trail what we end up aligning on and a mass-timber building spree to end our housing crisis He graduated from the Evans School of Public Policy and Governance at the University of Washington in 2019 He lives in Seattle's Fremont neighborhood and loves to explore the city by foot and by bike The Urbanist hosts social hour meetups every month.

In January, the Space-Edge Accelerator developed as a national consortium of universities to help biomedical innovators and businesses develop actionable space strategies for a competitive edge hosted its inaugural showcase for its first graduating cohort Director of Entrepreneurship and Biomedical Innovation at the Wond’ry “By converging advisors and instructors from diverse space sectors—each shaped by unique regional ecosystems—we unlock untapped knowledge and innovation This collective strength breeds the collaboration necessary to keep America competitive in the space economy and the renewed space race." This year’s cohort consisted of 20 ventures with six of the innovations being explored by Vanderbilt:  These cohort participants spent 12 weeks engaging in rigorous mentorship Some insights included regulatory considerations and navigating the technical constraints of operating in microgravity and extreme environments Nathan Park a 2026 Vanderbilt Engineering student and Founder of Astroflexion reflected “The program greatly helped to bring my product from a simple concept to a fully-fledged plan of R&D I was able to get amazing advice on every step of the innovation process." Venture teams also explored funding and partnership opportunities within the growing space economy learning how to navigate public and private sector investments The accelerator’s impressive network provided direct connections to experts in aerospace medicine fostering knowledge exchange that wouldn’t be possible within a single institution "I think the program did a good job on helping me understand the space domain," said Michael Miga "I enjoyed adapting some of our work as an adjacent problem to provide transition and putting the pitch together with the help of the advice from the mentors." the cohort developed a deeper understanding of how interdisciplinary collaboration increases innovation participants saw firsthand how leveraging regional strengths creates a more robust ecosystem for space commercialization on a national scale This experience propelled the ventures forward and contributed to the broader goal of maintaining America’s leadership in the space economy Vanderbilt’s participation in the  Space Edge Accelerator will continue in the fall of 2025, with hopes to expand the consortium of universities for even greater collaboration and impact.
