On Tuesday, Mayor Katie Wilson announced her administration will continue with the planned expansion of the RTCC CCTV pilot while also increasing safeguards to protect privacy and civil liberties. These locations include the area around Garfield High School and the Capitol Hill nightlife district, where cameras will be purchased, installed, and activated in the coming months, and in the Stadium District where cameras were already installed prior to the World Cup and will be activated immediately.
These additional camera locations were identified by SPD and approved in 2025 by Seattle City Council. The mayor’s decision follows the completion of NYU Policing Project’s audit of Seattle’s Real Time Crime Center, which the mayor initiated when she paused the expansion earlier this year.
