You are warmly invited to the King County Democrats 2020 Kick-off Party on Saturday, January 18 from 6:00-9:00 pm! This community building and fundraising event will be held at the Duwamish Longhouse and Cultural Center (4705 W Marginal Way SW, Seattle, WA 98106).
As members of King County Democrats, you know just how critical the year ahead will be – for our county, country, and future. We hope you’ll join us for an inspiring night to meet your neighbors, hear from local leaders, and strategize a game-changing year ahead. This event also kicks off our Presidential primary organizing activities.
Did you know that PCO engagement leads to a 5-point increase in voter turnout? And that we’ve got 1,000 vacant PCO positions across King County? The increased turnout had those been filled would have passed I-1000 with 20,000 votes to spare. One of our top priorities in 2020 will be to recruit and train PCOs to make sure we’ve got the votes needed come November…and beyond. Our kick-off party is your chance to invest in our shared vision for a more equitable, just, and inclusive world.
In honor of our county’s namesake, this event is a perfect way to kick off MLK Day Weekend and ring in the New Year. Friends, family, and children are welcome. Click here to purchase your tickets today (3 ticket levels available) with Early Bird Discount ending December 30th.

Northern Lights Spiritual Center (9626 14th SW) – “At Northern Lights Spiritual Center, we use the practical and spiritual principles to help create lives we love living. We use the knowledge that has been gained over the years and the metaphysical and spiritual principles we have learned through Science of Mind and ministerial teachings in our Sunday talks, as well as in workshops and spiritual coaching. As Science of Mind practitioners, we bring a new perspective of God to those who feel there is a face of God that may be different from that which they have grown up with. This “face” is a gentler Spirit, a more loving Spirit, a Spirit that celebrates life in general and us in particular. We thoroughly enjoy helping people know themselves more deeply and most of all developing their own relationship with this great Spirit. We agree with Ernest Holmes when he said: “There is a power for good in the Universe and you can use it.” As a Science of Mind minister, this is our hearts work and advocation…to use that Power to make create good for ourselves and the world we live in. All are welcome! Come to our Sunday Celebration and experience our warm, open community for yourself. We are a Religious Science of Mind church and a member of the Centers for Spiritual Living. To learn more about our global organization, click here: http:/csl.org. We meet every Sunday from 10:00 to 12:00 AM at 9626 14th Ave SW (West Seattle cross street Roxbury St).
