WEST SEATTLE TRANSPORTATION COALITION: 6:30 pm at Neighborhood House‘s High Point Center, tonight’s agenda includes talking about West Seattle priorities for the transportation levy – what do you think should be in the letter WSTC writes about that? – and hearing from board candidates. (6400 Sylvan Way)

‘ANGRY HOUSEWIVES’ OPENING NIGHT: 7:30 pm at ArtsWest Playhouse (WSB sponsor), it’s back, 30 years after the first production, the show that is still in the books as having “the longest sold-out run of a musical in Seattle history.”

Please join me at this Affordable Housing Town Hall meeting. There will be time for public comment, so bring your personal stories about skyrocketing rents.
~
Councilmember Licata and I will be unveiling a City Council Resolution that calls on the State Legislature to lift its undemocratic ban on rent control. We will also be discussing bold solutions to the affordable housing crisis, like a Tenants Bill of Rights and a massive public works program to build thousands of City-owned quality affordable housing units.
~
Finally, we will hear from some of the applicants for the City Council position vacated by Sally Clark. The person chosen will Chair the Housing Committee and we need a fierce advocate for affordable housing and tenant right!
