Today’s winner: The Seattle Channel.
The Seattle Channel—including all-star newsy C.R. Douglas, who’s leaving the channel after nearly a decade hosting public affairs shows including “City Inside/Out”—won four Northwest Emmy Awards this past weekend, including one for a show Douglas hosted on the prospect of an income tax in Washington State.
The shows that won the honors were: “Citystream,” for an informational show on the Harry Potter exhibit at Pacific Science Center; a special program about the restoration of Georgetown’s historic Hat n’ Boots sculpture (which won two separate Emmys); and “City Inside/Out.”
Congrats to C.R. and all the other winners.
Today’s loser: City Council incumbent Jean Godden.
Godden, a two-term incumbent, came in dead last in the race for the 43rd District Democrats’ endorsements last night, after challengers Michael Taylor-Judd (23.4 percent), Bobby Forch (33.3 percent) and Maurice Classen (59.2 percent). You need 60 to get the endorsement, and Classen, a domestic violence prosecutor for the King County Prosecutor’s Office, won the endorsement after a second round of voting with 64 percent.
Godden didn’t even show up to the endorsement meeting, which was in the U. District.
In 2007, Godden didn’t get the endorsement either—but neither did her opponent, schoolteacher Joe Szwaja.
