Sunday Fizz: McGinn Holds Town Hall, Nobody Comes

By Erica C. Barnett October 4, 2009

Just last week, mayoral candidate Mike McGinn announced he was holding six more town hall meetings around the city.

However, he may be reaching a saturation point—when McGinn and his campaign staffers showed up for yesterday's International District town hall, planned for 10 am at the Wrap and Roll restaurant on South Jackson Street, they found the doors locked and no one there. After waiting around fruitlessly for a while, McGinn and his half-dozen staffers went out to lunch. (McGinn confirmed this report after last night's mayoral debate, sponsored by Seattle Weekly as part of the Reverb music festival in Ballard).
