This is the meeting YOU MADE HAPPEN by signing the petition and demanding open, transparent and accountable city government. This is your chance to directly address our city leaders about the proposed homeless tent encampment on Market Street. 6:30 p.m. Monday, Aug. 3 VFW Post 3063 2812 NW Market St., Seattle We can’t overstate how important it is for you to attend this grassroots, community-led, public meeting. The more people who come out, the stronger the message we send to City Hall. Councilmember Mike O’Brien, who is running to represent our neighborhood on the City Council, has agreed to attend the meeting, listen to your comments and answer your questions. We are still waiting for word from Mayor Ed Murray and his key city staffer about whether they will be able to attend as well. This is a public meeting open to all Ballard residents. Let’s make sure that our elected officials hear from more than just a handful of activists behind closed doors. Your perspective as a resident, a voter and a taxpayer matters. Make a difference -- get your friends, family and neighbors to join you. More updates and information will be available on our newly-created Facebook page. See attached link and "like" us. Speak Up Ballard!
