Councilmember-elect Andrew J. Lewis (District 7, Pioneer Square to Magnolia) takes the Oath of Office on Tuesday, Dec. 31, 2019, at the UpGarden P-Patch on top of the Mercer Street Garage. The Council seat for District 7 - an area that includes Pioneer Square, Downtown, Belltown, First Hill, Queen Anne, and Magnolia - fills the position of former Councilmember Sally Bagshaw. Following the swearing-in, Councilmember Lewis announces that an agreement has been reached to preserve the UpGarden P-Patch. The plan had been to close the P-Patch after next season to make room for 100 parking spaces.
