Friends of Seattle Endorses Burgess, Clark, Godden, Harrell, and Rasmussen for City Council

Endorsed Candidates Will Support Friends of Seattle Goals by Advocating for Improved Transportation, More Housing, and Smart Development

SEATTLE - After leaving its mark on the Viaduct election, Friends of Seattle (FoS), a membership-based advocacy organization dedicated to making Seattle a more urban, livable, and sustainable city, is pleased to announce its endorsement decisions for Seattle City Council.

“Our elected leadership needs to be creative and purposeful if we are to have a chance of fixing the problems of urban life in Seattle,” said Friends of Seattle Gary Manca. “These five candidates have the potential to pass legislation that will increase our housing stock, give us more transportation choices, and expand our park system. Friends of Seattle has faith in them.”
