Late yesterday, the Seattle Times reported that Bruce Harrell, the only majority-minority member of Seattle's majority-majority city council, was mulling a challenge to US Rep. Adam Smith in Washington's new majority-minority 9th Congressional District. Well, according to Smith—who visited The Stranger's offices today—apparently not.

"It was a misunderstanding," according to Smith, who says he talked to Harrell this morning. Neither Harrell nor "top pundit" Eli Sanders were available for comment.
