Executive Candidates Promote Cascade Agenda at Debate

Four of five King County Executive candidates debated last night at Town Hall in Seattle.  

Each candidate directly promoted Cascade Land Conservancy's vision for the region's growth. 

Fred Jarret, for example, said, "We need to build on the work of Cascade Land Conservancy" and plan beyond the next twenty years.

Larry Phillips and Ross Hunter spoke in detail about transit oriented development and building affordable homes in the urban core.  Dow Constantine views the county as a region of "urban centers" and spoke to reversing the damage of the past 150 years. 

These are key issues to the Cascade Agenda, and as Hunter said, "land use, affordable housing and transportation are the key environmental issues now." 

We partnered with a broad coalition of organizations, called “King County’s Green Choice” to host this event. 

We were delighted to see many Conservancy supporters in the audience.
