Erika Evans is running to be the next Seattle City Attorney. A proud Pacific Northwest native, Erika earned her undergraduate degree from the University of Washington and her law degree from Seattle University School of Law.
Erika previously served as an Assistant United States Attorney for the Western District of Washington, where she prosecuted high level fentanyl and firearm traffickers, hate crimes, violent offenses, and crimes against children in federal court.
Before her federal service, Erika was a pro tem judge in several local municipal courts and worked in the Seattle City Attorney’s Office—as both a City Prosecutor and later as an Assistant City Attorney focused on complex civil litigation. These roles gave her deep insight into both the criminal and civil divisions of the office she now seeks to lead.
Erika is a past president of the Loren Miller Bar Association (LMBA) and spent seven years reviving and leading LMBA’s bar studies program to support diverse law graduates entering the legal profession. She also co-chaired the Charles V. Johnson Youth and Law Forum and served on the Washington State Public Engagement and Education Committee. In 2023, she was named co-chair of the Washington Leadership Institute, which prepares diverse young attorneys for leadership roles across the state.
Erika’s work has been recognized with numerous honors, including the 2024 Puget Sound Business Journal 40 Under 40 Award, the Seattle University Black Law Students Association Alumni of the Year Award, the 2017 Loren Miller Bar Association Young Lawyers Award, and the National Association of Women Judges Equal Access to Justice Scholarship Award.
