It's very interesting to see that

@mayorjenny

did turn over SOME text messages to other media who requested them, while

@publicolanews

has never received a single text message from her office. The office has not responded to our request for an explanation.

We asked for Mayor Jenny Durkan's text messages, and this is what we got

It was June 2020, and Seattle Police’s East Precinct was a flashpoint as protestors called for police reform.

CORRECTION: I have found two records requests so far, out of dozens requesting text messages and other forms of communication, that produced texts from mayor's office staff. Both are from 2019 (I received no text messages in response to requests for texts in 2020 or 2021).
