Dateline: Ballard.

Yesterday morning, Joe Mallahan's campaign (Tina Podlodowski*) held a forum at the Ballard branch library—organized by the Ballard Chamber of Commerce—for about 20 local buisness folks.

Yesterday evening, Mike McGinn's campaign (Mike McGinn) held a forum at the Ballard Community Center. Over fifty people showed up to grouse about parking; ask about McGinn's pitch to expand light rail in Ballard, Queen Anne, and West Seattle; and ask about the Burke-Gilman trail—something that people might have wanted to ask Joe Mallahan about.
