is doing a series of interviews with Seattle City Council candidates who represent downtown and the 7th District. Today’s interview is with challenger Robert Kettle, retired U.S. Navy. Kettle is running against incumbent Andrew Lewis; and other challengers Olga Sagan, owner of Piroshky Piroshky; Isabelle Kerner, business owner; Aaron Marshall, Seattle Police Officer; and Wade Sowders, software engineer at Amazon. The 7th District represents downtown, Queen Anne, and Interbay.
“But we also need to have the wisdom to understand that we can’t have secondhand fentanyl smoke on our buses,” Kettle continued. “We have to give individuals with disabilities the ability to go from point A to point B down our sidewalks. We have to have the wisdom to understand that we have to look at the whole society and not just one piece.”
“We need to focus on recruitment retention,” Kettle said. “How can we get back police officers who have retired or left the force? As a city council, we need to be supportive. We need to create that positive environment, that positive engaged leadership that makes it attractive.” Gee Scott said the current city council, in his opinion, has had a tough time connecting to small businesses and others in the community. He wanted to know how Kettle would help bridge that gap.“By engaging,” Kettle said. “One of the things I want to do is basically recreate a connection between the district representative, the council member, and the various neighborhood community councils to engage with them, to get an understanding of what is going on in each of the neighborhoods.
