Democrats in the 45th Legislative District passed a resolution Wednesday urging County Executive Dow Constantine to recommend Seattle attorney Rod Dembowski, Shoreline Planning Commission member Keith Scully and Democratic 32nd District State Rep. Cindy Ryu for the King County Council position to be vacated by Attorney-General-elect Bob Ferguson.
The 45th Legislative District includes Woodinville, Redmond, Carnation and Duvall, part of Kirkland, and unincorporated areas of northeast King County.
Dembowski, Ryu and Scully, along with Shoreline City Councilman Will Hall and King County Deputy Ombudsman Chuck Sloane. are candidates for appointment to represent the 1st County Council District, which includes Shoreline, Lake Forest Park, Kenmore, Woodinville, parts of Bothell and Kirkland, unincorporated areas between Bothell and Kirkland, and part of north Seattle.
District Democratic Chairman Trent Latta said that the organization’s general membership had amended the recommendation of its endorsement committee, which had proposed that the organization recommend Dembowski, Scully and Hall.
A citizens’ committee selected Dembowski, Hall, Ryu, Scully and Sloane from 13 original applicants. Constantine will nominate three of the five to the eight remaining Council members. The Council has 60 days to appoint a new Council member.
In your earier column, the correct spelling was Eggen, not Eggan, and in this one it is Scully, not Skully. Pay attention to detail, F'n.
