There are six candidate forums scheduled locally - so far.

One for the Lake Forest Park city council; five for Shoreline City Council; and four for Shoreline School Board, (although half are meet and greets). One forum includes Shoreline Fire commissioners and Ronald Wastewater District commissioners.

5 candidates running for 3 positions on the Shoreline School Board
6 candidates vying for 3 positions on the Shoreline City Council
6 candidates vying for 3 positions on the Lake Forest Park City Council and 1 for Mayor

No one is including the Northshore Fire commissioners, Northshore Utility District, Lake Forest Park Water commissioners, or North City Water commissioners.

Two forums are still in the planning stage and details might change on some of the others. We'll keep this article updated as information comes in.
