Speed Candi-Dating our City Council candidates

Meet the City Council Candidates on June 15 and Ask the Questions YOU Want Answered!

Join the Downtown Seattle Association on Wednesday, June 15 at Showbox at the Market to meet your City Council candidates in a fun “speed dating” style format.

Five current city councilmembers are up for re-election and all have drawn at least one challenger. Here’s your chance to meet them all face-to-face and ask the questions you want answered. Hot button topics for this year’s election include:

Viaduct replacement and bored tunnel project
Transportation, including public transit, light rail, bike lanes and potholes
Neighborhood density
Additional police on the streets
Street food vendor legislation
Mandatory sick leave

[note: or other things — like what they plan to do about parking in Pioneer Square, and how they will help small businesses thrive during viaduct construction, or how they plan to help us provide public restrooms in our neighborhood, or if they will please bring back the waterfront streetcar, etc.]

Instead of an impersonal on-stage panel, you’ll get to lead the conversation as part of a small group with each candidate working their way around the room. Start thinking about your questions now!
