State Sen. Maralyn Chase and State Rep. Cindy Ryu will be hosts for a town-hall meeting Saturday, March 14* from 2 to 3:30 p.m. at the Shoreline Fire Department at 17525 Aurora Ave. N., Shoreline.

Chase and Ryu represent the 32nd Legislative District, including Lynnwood, Woodway and nearby unincorporated areas of southwest Snohomish County, parts of Edmonds and Mountlake Terrace, Shoreline and part of northwest Seattle.

Democrat Ryu is deputy majority whip in the State House of Representatives. She also is vice chairwoman of the committee on business and financial services and a member of the Rules Committee, the Finance Committee and the committee on technology and economic development.

In the Republican-controlled State Senate, Democrat Chase is ranking minority member of the committee on trade and economic development. She also is a member of the Rules Committee, and the committee on natural resources and parks.

In announcing the Saturday event Chase said, “These kinds of meetings are terrific venues for candid discussions of the issues and priorities important to the 32nd District and our state,” adding, “With the 2015 legislative session underway, we can discuss the critical issues that we are facing in Olympia.”

The two legislators said Tuesday that the meeting would include an update of legislative action during the session along with questions and answers to constituents’ concerns.

Ryu added, “It’s always a pleasure to hear directly from citizens and have a real dialogue about solving our common problems.” She also said. “I look forward to hearing questions, comments and ideas for how to make our state a better place.”
