ADVISORY
WHAT: “The Seattle CHECC Movement — Could It Happen Again?”
WHO: Founders of the late 1960s Seattle political-reform movement CHECC (Choose an Effective City Council): Tim Hill, Lem Howell, Cam Hall, and more. Moderators are David Brewster, executive director of , and Sue Donaldson, senior lecturer and former City Council president.
WHEN: Wednesday, May 5, 7:30-9:30 p.m.
WHERE: Town Hall, Eighth Avenue and Seneca Street.
DETAILS: Seattle’s entrenched City Council of the late 1960s — the average age was 64, and only one incumbent had been voted out since WWII — was revitalized in the 1970s by CHECC’s bipartisan slates of young reformers, some of whom will gather three decades later for Wednesday evening’s two panels: “How Did CHECC Happen?” and “Could It Happen Again?” Discussion will include whether Seattle’s City Council of today needs a shakeup.
