Seattle's 2023-2024 Proposed Budget, the first under Mayor Bruce A. Harrell, totals approximately $7.4 billion in appropriations, including $1.6 billion in General Fund and $294 million from the JumpStart Payroll Expense Tax. This is the first biennial budget since the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted the city's normal budgeting cycle, and it addresses a significant General Fund deficit while prioritizing housing and homelessness, public safety, access to opportunity, healthy communities, climate and environment, transportation, and good government. Despite 40-year-high inflation, General Fund expenditure growth is held to effectively flat at 0.03% over 2022 levels, with the budget balanced partly through payroll tax revenue and conservative spending measures aimed at replenishing reserves.
