The moderator is asking us to avoid expletives and open hostility.
This is a VERY friendly crowd vis-a-vis the three councilmembers here.
Bob Kettle says Seattle has the best police force in the nation. Talks about living in Baghdad, Iraq.
Bob says his top priorities are 1) public safety, public health, and homelessness 2) the port, and 3) constituent affairs (which is often transportation and parks).
Sara Nelson: “People come up to me and say ‘You’re doing a great job. How can I help?’ And I always answer ‘I’m here to serve YOU.’”
Question for Bob: “What is your plan to end homelessness?” Bob: “I draw upon my experience on the Queen Anne Community Council.”
Q: What are your thoughts about the Comprehensive Plan? A: Woo: “More housing and density.” A: Nelson: “There’s a reason I’m not on the land use committee.” A: Kettle: “I’m a comp plan [alternative] 5 guy.”
