Shoreline residents turned out on a brisk fall Tuesday evening September 15 to hear all candidates for the Shoreline City Council positions, contested and uncontested, respond to questions from the audience. With time for informal talk before and after, citizens were able to discern the differences between candidates in order to make an informed choice in the coming election.

Many of the questions dealt with the proposed changes to 145th, as well as the light rail station and rezoning. There were questions about property values and taxes. Low income housing was covered and the preservation of single family homes was a popular topic for questions from the audience. A discussion on crime praised the new Shoreline Watch but mentioned the need for more police in our neighborhoods.
The forum was run by a volunteer committee from the Briarcrest and Ridgecrest neighborhoods and moderated by Sarah Kaye. The Shoreline Area News was a cosponsor. The event was held at the Prince of Peace Lutheran Church in Shoreline.
