to List of elected officials in Seattle to salvage, as with List of elected officials in Los Angeles and List of elected officials in Bakersfield, California. The criteria are clear: all the http://www.seattle.gov/elected-officials officials elected in the City government, plus those representing city residents at other levels of government. Also the Port of Seattle commissioners and the school board. A similarly defined category is also a good idea, per . Whether a government body's chief executive, chief of police, judges, and others are elected or appointed is a defining characteristic so it's meaningful to enumerate them, and to be able to compare what's elected and what's not between cities.Navigation tools like {{tl|Seattle Government}} are fine as far as they go, but they're defined to include appointed officials like police chief or Seattle Public Utilities director, while excluding other elected such as the school board and Port of Seattle commissioners. The elected officials representing the city are a unique class worthy of a list. I'm surprised there aren't more lists like List of elected officials in Los Angeles
