Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan spoke with KING 5’s Chris Daniels about why she will not seek re-election for a second term.

Durkan was the first woman to be elected Seattle mayor since Bertha Knight Landes in 1926, bringing credibility and a resume that included being the first openly gay U.S. Attorney in history.

She led a charmed life initially on the seventh floor, finalizing a Memorandum of Understanding for a new sports arena a week into the job. A day later, the National Hockey League told the city to apply for a new franchise. Durkan was an active participant in the negotiations to bring a new franchise to Seattle.
