This coming Monday, the Mayoral candidates and City Council candidates will gather for a community forum at Ballard High School. Some of the issues expected to be raised at the forum include: access and cost for the SR-99 corridor and tunnel, crime and other public safety concerns, the future of industrial lands and the maritime industry, as well as controls on the rate of growth and development. Seattle Channel’s C. R. Douglas will moderate the forum on Monday, October 5, which is co-sponsored by the Ballard and Magnolia/Queen Anne District Councils. Doors will open at 6:00 pm with the Forum beginning at 6:30 pm in the high school auditorium.

Along with several neighborhood sites that are partners with the Seattle Times, we have been asked to participate in the King5 televised mayoral debate. The producer of the debate has requested that we ask the candidates questions important to our neighborhood. What would you like us to ask? Please post in comments below.
