The Seattle Southside Chamber of Commerce, the driving force of business for Southwest King County, has released the publication of their candidate questionnaires on their website http://www.seattlesouthsidechamber.com/candidates-night as well as the return of Candidates Night on September 27th from 5-8pm at the Red Lion in SeaTac.

All Candidates running for King County Sherriff, Port of Seattle, and City Council positions for the municipalities the Chamber serves (Burien, Des Moines, Normandy Park, SeaTac and Tukwila) were invited on July 20th to complete a Candidate Questionnaire.  Thirty-three out of the forty-four candidates running for the positions described above chose to participate and return their questionnaire under the guidelines established and communicated. Those questionnaires are now available in their entirety as they were submitted on the Chamber’s website. Thank you to the candidates that chose to participate.

Candidates were also invited to join us for Candidates Night; most have already confirmed their commitment to participate. This event, as well as the formation of the Chamber’s questionnaire, are organized by our volunteer Government Affairs Committee (GAC). The Chamber’s GAC focuses on the issues that matter most in our region and the communities we serve. The Seattle Southside Chamber is also part of the South Sound Chamber of Commerce Legislative Coalition (SSCCLC), whose collaborative advocacy efforts work to improve the business climate of our region. The work of the Government Affairs committee allows the Chamber to serve as the voice of business at all levels of government to help advance the mission of the organization to build business success, advance our region and help encourage and maintain a strong economic environment in Southwest King County.

 Candidates Night will be held on Wednesday, September 27th, 5 – 8:00 pm, at Red Lion Hotel Seattle Airport, 18220 International Blvd, SeaTac 98188. Parking is limited and attendees are encouraged to carpool.  Additional over-flow parking is available next door at the Radisson Hotel Seattle Airport.
