City council member Mike O'Brien, Stranger news writer Goldy, and some guy smoking cigarettes in front of Value Village have all confirmed that they are not running for mayor of Seattle in 2013.

In other news, revered sex columnist Dan Savage says he isn't yet ready to announce that he isn't running for mayor, but plans to confirm that news within the next few days.

That makes almost four people in the city who are not running for mayor.

UPDATE: After some thoughtful prayer, I have also decided not to run. We're now up to five!
