Seattle City Councilmember Jan Drago, first elected in 1993 and the council's longest-serving member, announced in an e-mail to supporters Sunday that she will not seek re-election this year.
She wrote: "During last year's presidential campaign, Barack Obama echoed the clarion call 'It's time for change.'... I have decided that it IS a time for a change — change for the City Council and change for me. Therefore, I will not be seeking re-election this year."
Drago was re-elected in 1997, 2001 and 2005.
