Seattle City Council Forum in North Seattle

Monday, June 3rd

Sorry for a second email in a day, but a quick PSA:

A number of North Seattle volunteers have put together a forum for the Seattle City Council position that is up this fall. It will be moderated by Colleen Echohawk.

• Monday, June 3, 7 to 8:30 p.m., at the Haller Lake United Methodist Church, 13055 1st Ave NE.

The forum will focus on both highly localized issues related to the 130th Street station, a new Lake City Community Center and safety on the Aurora Avenue, to citywide concerns like affordable housing, public safety, homelessness, and climate change.

You can submit questions here. Coalition volunteers will choose a representative sample of questions covering a breadth of issues. Masks will be available and encouraged, and in-person capacity is limited to 200 people.

All candidates who have filed to run for Seattle City Council Position 8 have been invited to participate. Candidates include Saul Patu, Alexis Mercedes Rinck, Saunatina Sanchez, Tanya Woo, and Tariq Yusuf.  

As a reminder, I have not yet endorsed in this race. However, incumbent appointee Tanya Woo’s unabashed opposition to the basic building blocks of the Democratic Party Platform (like progressive taxes, labor rights, and robust social services) is among several reasons I listed when I said she is unfit for the job.
