Voter Guide Live with Seattle CityClub & KUOW

Join Seattle CityClub and KUOW's Sound Politics on Wednesday, September 16 at 6:30 p.m. at The Collective Seattle for a special live Voter Guide event as hosts Scott Greenstone and Catharine Smith -- along with State Government Reporter Sarah Mizes-Tan -- break down what's on the ballot for Washington's November 3 general election. From the biggest races to the ballot measures and issues shaping communities across the state, they'll provide the context and analysis you need to understand what's at stake.

Whether you already know how you're voting, or don't know where to start, this live conversation will help you make sense of the issues, the candidates, and the choices voters will face this November. Scott and Catharine will also answer audience questions, so bring your curiosity or submit your questions in advance to help shape the conversation.
