The eight candidates for Mountlake Terrace City Council on the November ballot and at least one of the candidates for County Council Position 4 plan to appear at a forum Monday at the Mountlake Terrace First Baptist Church, 22800 56th Ave. W.
The event will begin with a social time and refreshments at 6 p.m., followed by the forum at 6:30.
The six candidates for the three contested positions on the City Council will take questions at the senior-center-sponsored event, with questions coming from community members over age 60.
The three contested city council positions are these: Position 3 – incumbent Douglas McCardle and challenger Stephen Barnes; Position 4 — incumbent Kyoko Wright and challenger Wanda Clarke-Morin; Position 5 — incumbent Bryan Wahl and challenger Leonard French vying for a two-year term.
The two unopposed city council incumbents — Rick Ryan for Position 1 and Jerry Smith for Position 2 – will make introductory statements but not take questions.
Democratic County Council candidate Terry Ryan has accepted an invitation, but Republican Robert Reedy has not yet responded, according to a spokesman for the Mountlake Terrace senior center. The two are running for the position that Councilman Dave Gossett is giving up because of term limits.
