2022 Seattle Mayoral Debate
Mark Wright King TV Anchor and past Seattle 4 President, will moderate a debate between the two finalists for Seattle Mayor:
Lorena Gonzalez, at-Large Member Seattle City Council Position 9 and current City Council President
Bruce Harrell, City Council Member elected in 2007, 2011, and 2015, and selected by fellow Council Members as City Council President in 2016, subsequently serving as Interim Mayor, in 2016.
This program will offer a contrast between the two candidates as they explain why each wants to serve as Mayor of Seattle, what they see as their strengths, what they see as the most important issues facing City leadership, and what they plan to prioritize in helping Seattle restore the Downtown, effectively address homelessness, and improve public safety for all citizens.
EACH ONE, BRING ONE

As professionals, whether we are in the Non-Profit or the For-Profit field, many of us ask ourselves a similar question:
I know when my career started, but when does it end? Does it end when I retire? For many of us, the answer is, no.
Our Spotlight Member of the Month for October is a great example of a professional whose career defiantly did not stop when she retired and in fact, it flourished. Her name is Laurie Black and Laurie is categorized as an Achiever member of 0 to 5 years. As a relatively new member, she is a great example of the type of new member we want to attract to join our club as we grow for the future. Let me tell you, her story.
President Jimmy called the Zoom meeting to order promptly at 12:30. He introduced Don Murphy accompanied by Freeman Fong leading Rotarians in the day’s anthem, Star-Spangled Banner, followed by Faith Ireland for the day’s inspiration that focused on Governor Evans as a leader in education, public policy, and for all he has done in his long distinguished career.
John Steckler of the club’s member engagement team provided the month’s member spotlight on new club member Laurie Black, her career with Nordstrom that included various managerial posts including as president of 50 Nordstrom RACK stores where she grew sales to more than $1B. She retired from Nordstrom to join many volunteer non-profit boards, including 34 Boys & Girls Clubs in King County; where she now serves as CEO. Nordstrom awarded her the Blake Nordstrom Public Service Award for her public service work. Laurie represents the Nordstrom way ‘Whatever it takes.'
President Jimmy introduced seasoned journalist and former Puget Sound Business Journal publisher, Mike Flynn, who moderated an interview with former Governor, U.S. Senator, and college president Dan Evans with his wife of 62 years, Nancy.
Washington state historians will remember the 1964 election when Democrats won in a landslide when relatively unknown Daniel J. Evans was elected Governor; defeating popular Governor Al Rossellini who was running for a third term.
“I spent 14 months getting to know the state and letting people get to know me mainly because a previous poll before the election revealed that I ran six out of six candidates,” Governor Evans said,” but I figured it was time for someone new and the state’s voters agreed.”
New members, those considering membership, and team leadership connect in a small Zoom venue to learn more about what it means to be a Rotarian. Get your questions answered, meet members of the leadership team and find out how to get involved.
