Nick Licata is a past president of the Seattle City Council. His aides Newell Aldrich [1], Lisa Herbold, and Frank Video have worked for him since he took office in 1998. Licata is also a published author of children's books.
Beginning in January 2008 he has chaired the Culture, Civil Rights, Health and Personnel Committee, and has served as vice chair of the Budget Committee. Licata received his bachelor's degree from Bowling Green State University in 1969 and his master's degree in sociology from the University of Washington in 1973.
Licata was one of the two City Council members who supported rebuilding the Alaskan Way Viaduct.
In 2007, Licata supported a public vote for any public subsidy for a new events center/arena in King County that would keep the professional basketball team, the Seattle SuperSonics, in the area. Licata was Co-Chair of Citizens for More Important Things prior to being elected to the City Council. The group opposed excessive public funding of professional sports stadiums. It wrote King County Initiative 16 and collected over 73,000 signatures to get it validated.
While in office Licata has consistently received more votes than any elected Seattle public official. [2]
