Join us on Wednesday, June 12, to listen to candidates who are running to represent Ballard and other District 6 neighborhoods on the Seattle City Council.
Our event moderator is civic icon Jean Godden, former Seattle City Councilmember and longtime journalist.
We will have 7 candidates participating in this forum:
Don’t rely on hearsay or cursory endorsements. Take time to interact with community members and hear in person from candidates on a wide range of issues for this important local election. The Seattle City Council primary election is August 6.
Seattle City Council District 6 encompasses the greater Ballard area, as well as Green Lake, Phinney Ridge, Fremont, and part of Greenwood. This panel will cover at-large issues as well as providing focus on Ballard-specific topics.
We are grateful for support received from Rotary Club of Ballard, Nordic Museum, Whittier Heights Community Council, and a private Ballard donor, enabling us to hold this event in a beautiful, large local venue — the Osberg Great Hall at the Nordic Museum (2655 NW Market Street). We welcome District 6 voters to join us and make the most of this civic opportunity.
