The word is out today that the Seattle stop of the Senate’s “Listening Tour” will be held, not at the King County Courthouse, but at the First Presbyterian Church near Town Hall, 1013 8th Avenue. It’s served by bus routes 2, 3, 4, 12 and 60.
Apart from the last-minute confusion, this change of location is a good thing — the new venue will hold 1000 people and we won’t have to all file through security to get in. The Transit Riders Union is still planning to rally at 5:00 pm outside the church, and the forum still goes from 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm.
If you are planning to be there and especially if you want to testify, please RSVP to contact@transitriders.org — many of us will be arriving very early to sign up for public comment, and we may be able to help you get on the list.
