Seattle city council candidates debate public safety, food deserts, and more

Today, we’re helping you prep for next month’s election with KUOW’s “Soundside.”

Today, we’re helping you prep for next month’s election with a debate from KUOW’s Soundside.

Two candidates are running to represent Seattle’s northern neighborhoods - from Greenwood to Bitter Lake, and Crown Hill to Lake City.

The outcome of this race has big implications for the political balance of City Hall…

And could prove to be the tipping point in continued debates over tax revenue, CCTV cameras, Seattle’s Comprehensive Plan, and the ever-looming issue of the city’s budget deficit.

Soundside is made by Libby Denkmann, David Kroman, Sarah Leibovitz, Hans Anderson, Jason Burrows, Gabrielle Healy, Jed Kim, and Maleeha Syed.
