	The Seattle Times: Politics: Seattle mayor faces ethics allegation

	Greg Nickels already running hard (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
		On primary night four years ago, Greg Nickels was hounded by what-ifs as he watched Seattle's mayoral election results roll in.
		Nickels, like the five other challengers in the race, is buoyed by the sense that voters are ready for a change in the wake of Schell's mishaps, framed by the 1999 World Trade Organization conference and the recent melee at Mardi Gras.
		But Nickels is even more closely associated with light rail because he is the vice president of the Sound Transit Board and helped push for a public vote to create it.

		It's also no secret that Mayor Greg Nickels and the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) favor replacing the viaduct with a tunnel, "opening up the waterfront" to parks, condos, and new commercial development.
		In fact, Team Nickels is talking as though the viaduct will still be everything he initially promised—despite $9 billion in cuts and the elimination of many critical features from the original plan.
		Nonetheless, despite overwhelming evidence that megaproject costs are almost universally lowballed, Nickels and the state insist their numbers are solid.

	Seattle Mayor: Nickels rolls to a second term
		Seattle Mayor Greg Nickels cruised to an easy victory Tuesday night and looked forward to a second term in which he said he plans to focus on major transportation projects, such as replacing the Alaskan Way Viaduct with a tunnel, increasing affordable housing and improving public education.
		About 200 of Nickels' supporters were in a celebratory mood at Ivar's Acres of Clams on the waterfront as results throughout the evening showed him with a sizable lead over little-known former University of Washington associate professor Alfred Runte, who'd charged the mayor had emphasized downtown and South Lake Union over other neighborhoods.
		Nickels' first four years in office were surprising given his promises of doing things the "Seattle Way" when he was first elected -- a theme to which he clearly harkened in holding his party at Ivar's.

	Rebuffing Bush, 132 Mayors Embrace Kyoto Rules - New York Times (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
		Mayor Greg Nickels of Seattle formed a bipartisan coalition of mayors to adopt the Kyoto Protocol on global warming on the local level.
		Nickels, a Democrat, says 131 other likeminded mayors have joined a bipartisan coalition to fight global warming on the local level, in an implicit rejection of the administration's policy.
		Nickels said that to achieve the 7 percent reduction, Seattle was requiring cruise ships that dock in its bustling port to turn off their diesel engines while resupplying and to rely only on electric power provided by the city, a requirement that has forced some ships to retrofit.

		Nickels: There were a few phrases in there -- like when we referenced the Kyoto agreement, we said "yet to be adopted by the United States" -- that caused some concerns.
		Nickels: That's an interesting question, because in my private life [my wife] Sharon and I are environmentally aware, but we are not, you know, rabid environmentalists.
