Election 2009: Joe Mallahan scheduled to visit West Seattle today

This was announced before the Seattle Police tragedy Saturday night, so we’ll be checking later this morning to make sure it hasn’t changed, but for now: One day after Mike McGinn‘s North Admiral town hall, opponent Joe Mallahan plans to visit West Seattle today. That word comes from Vlad Oustimovitch, who says Mallahan plans to start in The Junction at about 2:30 pm (starting around Easy Street Records), continue on to Youngstown Arts Center around 3:30 pm, and Seacrest Pier around 4, and anyone is welcome to join in, though this is a walking tour rather than a Q/A sitdown.

I have not heard of any changes due to this tragedy but will post any information on the WSB. By coincidence Joe is scheduled to attend a gun violence vigil at Greenlake before coming to West Seattle.

When Mallahan visited Beacon Hill last weekend only 3 people attended the event and two of them were NRA members with concealed weapons.

We had a great turnout, Joe talked with many dozens of Westies today.

Although I respect Susan Ralston’s support of Mike McGinn, that kind of statement is precisely the kind of negative spin that has darkened McGinn’s campaign. After spending several hours with Joe Mallahan today, and I can say that he is a very positive, constructive person and gets my vote for Mayor.
