Happening now: City Council candidates’ forum in The Junction

From left, candidate Sally Bagshaw, Admiral resident Dennis Ross, and candidates David Ginsberg and David Miller are among those on hand for the West Seattle Chamber of Commerce-presented City Council candidates’ forum at ArtsWest in The Junction – starting shortly (but feel free to drop in “late” – it’s in the theater, and there’ll likely be seats left). We’ll be publishing in-progress updates via Twitter at @wsblive and will add a wrapup here later. 6:58 PM UPDATE: The forum just concluded on time. By the time it was over, 14 candidates had participated – Nick Licata showed up about half an hour after it started. Lots of lively banter and questions/answers about serious neighborhood issues. Will write up the wrapup as soon as we can.

Thanks to Patty (and committee) for a great forum. The format was perfect and CR kept things moving along.

Congrats on a succesful event!

Did Jordan Royer change his stance on the jail? What answer did he give the 34th District Dems at their candidate forum?

According to my account of the 34th forum
https://westseattleblog.com/blog/?p=17740
Royer said he supported using city funds to build a new jail.
.
However, the question tonight was worded differently. It was, does the city NEED a new jail? So the fact he answered “no” along with everyone else does not necessarily indicate a change in position … TR (still writing)
