What happens to the medical-marijuana industry when recreational-marijuana stores start opening? Our area’s largest political organization, the 34th District Democrats, invite you to come hear from an expert panel – and ask questions – this Wednesday. 34th DDs chair Marcee Stone-Vekich – who elaborates on the subject here – says the panel will include Rep. Eileen Cody, King County Councilmember Joe McDermott, Seattle City Attorney Pete Holmes, and Liquor Control Board chair Sharon Foster.

Another topic of import – Seattle Parks funding, and whether voters will be asked to approve creation of a Metropolitan Parks District; City Councilmember Sally Bagshaw is scheduled to talk about that. Also on the agenda, members are expected to vote on endorsing the re-election of Rep. Cody and her fellow 34th District legislators, Sen. Sharon Nelson and Rep. Joe Fitzgibbon. The meeting’s at 7 pm Wednesday (April 9th), The Hall at Fauntleroy (9131 California SW).
