City Council District 4 and 6 Debates, Beginning Tonight

  • Post author:

It’s a wide open race for Seattle City Council District 4, with Rob Johnson and Michael Maddux each working to represent our neighborhood on city council. District 6 is O’Brien’s to lose, but Weatbrook is hanging tough and forcing him to think locally, so that race is also fun to follow. When you want the government to do something (or stop doing something) odds are your district candidate is the one you’ll be asking, so don’t be an endorsement zombie, see what the candidates have to say!

September 30th (Tonight), District 6

At 8:00 PM Town Hall and Seattle Channel present Mike O’Brien vs Catherine Weatbrook

Registration is full, but you can stream the debate live at 8 PM, so no need to abandon your glowing rectangle.

We hope you share your thoughts on the debate in the comments of this post.

October 1st (Tomorrow Night) District 4

At 7:30 PM Town Hall and Seattle Channel present Rob Johnson vs Michael Maddux at the University Heights Center.

The event is free, but registration is required. No late seating. Doors open at 6:30 pm. Because this event is televised live, audience members are asked to take their seats by 7:25 pm for the 7:30 pm program.

October 14th, District 4 at the Good Shepherd Center Chapel

From 7:30 PM to 9 PM, this debate won’t be a passive audience experience- expect audience votes on fun issues like HALA and revenue reform (whee!), plus a ballot after the debate where you can pass on your thoughts on to the media (news outlets will be attending).

The Wallingford District 4 debate features Wallyhood as a sponsor, meaning you can expect some Wallingford-specific questioning. We are also lucky to have other neighborhood organizations participating, including the Wallingford Community Senior Center and the Wallingford Community Council. We hope you come!

I've lived here since 1998. I spent 13 years at Microsoft as a developer and manager, concurrent with Ballmer's reign. I quit after seeing my third consecutive project cancelled, while my parents needed help, and my wife was getting stressed working at Seattle Public Schools. Since then, I have helped family and community while taking on side projects and volunteer work. I led the renovation of Meridian Playground, helped moderate the South Transfer Station design, helped advance the Green Lake Way road diet, and have guided several transportation and parks projects through neighborhood involvement. I wrote for Wallyhood for a while and was president of the Wallingford Community Council during the great recession, where thankfully, land use was not an issue. I'm an impatient moderate vegetarian who believes in practical win-win solutions.
