Seattle Mayor-elect Bruce Harrell appointed the first batch of leaders in his administration Monday, a group that includes his niece as senior deputy mayor.

Harrell shared a preview of the administration’s structure in a news release Monday, announcing three deputy mayors — one of them a new position to oversee housing and homelessness:
* Senior deputy mayor: Monisha Harrell, Harrell’s niece and campaign manager, board chair for Equal Rights Washington, and a member of the National LGBTQ Task Force Action Fund
* Deputy mayor of housing and homelessness: Tiffany Washington, a current deputy mayor
* Deputy mayor of external relations: remains unfilled through January as Harrell consults constituents
