Supporters raise money for Chang
Friends, family and colleagues gathered on March 11 to support Shoreline City Council member John Chang, who was questioned a month ago by the King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office for supposedly illegal activities at his Shoreline motel. No charges have been filed and the case is still under review.
