A Port of Seattle candidate forum will be held Wednesday, June 3, 7 p.m. at the South Park Community Center, 8319 8th Ave. S.
All five announced Port of Seattle Commission candidates (Albro, Cain, Creighton, Fisken, and Holland) will face questions from community, environmental, labor and immigration groups. This non-partisan forum, moderated by former Seattle PI reporter Kristen Young, is sponsored by more than 25 community groups in a first of its kind event.
Port candidates may be asked about controversial issues such as the jet ghettos in Burien, development of industrial lands, discrimination against immigrants, exploitation of truck drivers, cruise ship pollution, Duwamish River PCBs, the quality of airport jobs, and the future of Ballard's Fisherman's terminal. More than 175 community members are expected to attend.
