finds

Seattle voters appear to be on the verge of selecting former federal prosecutor Erika Evans as incumbent City Attorney Ann Davison’s opponent for the 2025 general election, the Northwest Progressive Institute’s latest Civic Heartbeat survey has found.

In the aggregate, 31% of a representative sample of likely 2025 August 2025 Seattle voters surveyed last week by Change Research for the Northwest Progressive Institute said they had or would be supporting Ann Davison for another term as Seattle City Attorney. 18% said they had or would be supporting Erika Evans, one of three progressive challengers who is hoping to defeat Davison. 5% backed Rory O’Sullivan, and 2% backed Nathan Rouse, who are Davison’s other two progressive challengers.

41% said they were not sure and 3% said they would not vote.

When we followed up in a subsequent question with a little information from the August voter’s pamphlet — specifically, listing the candidates’ occupations as they appear in the pamphlet along with a link to where our respondents could read the complete statements for all four candidates on kingcounty.gov — Evans cut her deficit with Davison to just four points (33% to 29%), within our survey’s margin of error, while O’Sullivan and Rouse remained far behind at 8% and 6% and a quarter said they were undecided.
