We also have a pair of very special guest speakers this month: 

1st District Congressmember Suzan DelBene

Endorsements in August?

Our endorsed candidates did very well in the primary, and in all races at least one of our endorsed candidates has moved through to the General Election.  However, we have an additional Seattle School Board race on the November ballot (SPS D6 in West Seattle) to consider, as well as Initiative 1000 (Ref 88).

So join us for the General Meeting Wednesday, August 21st, 7:00pm:

Environmental Caucus meets at 5:30pm - same location.

We will have social hour for meeting, greeting and eating starting at 6:30pm, and the meeting will start at 7:00pm Pacific time.  We will be gathering at the Elliott Bay Brewery, in the downstairs Cascade meeting room. (location details below)

Key Items on the Agenda:

• King County Assessor John Arthur Wilson
• Endorsements for the General Election (in races with no previously endorsed candidate or position on a measure)
• Presentation from Whole Washington on health care
• Resolution supporting I-1000

Remember to vote in the Primary by Tuesday, August 6th!

Wondering whom to vote for?

As a reminder, the 46th District has endorsed in all races you will find on your Primary Ballot!

You can find those endorsements by clicking here

Your Primary ballot needs to be postmarked no later that August 6th to be counted, and the King County Election Office recommends that to ensure a timely postmark, voters mail their ballots by Friday, August 2nd.

After August 2nd, it is recommended that you take your ballots to a Ballot Drop Box by or on August 6th - Primary Election Day. Drop Boxes are open until 8:00pm sharp on the 6th!

There are drop boxes in Kenmore, Lake Forest Park, and ten inside or very near the 46th District portion of northeast Seattle.  There are others located downtown, as well as many around King County.
