Sneak Peak!

Issue 2 SNEAK PEAK: Sally Bagshaw, Seattle Councilmember-Elect, talks arts policy, public works, and how artists can best engage her.

Seattles newest Councilmember (elect), Sally Bagshaw

By JASMINE MAHMOUD | November 4, 2009

Issue 2’s election-themed Dialogue section includes interviews with local political candidates from across the nation. One candidate was Sally Bagshaw, 58, a public service professional and former chief of the Civil Division for the King County Prosecuting Attorney. Last night, Bagshaw won Seattle City Council’s Position #4 seat with an impressive, and decisive 69 to 31 percent victory. Last month, I interviewed Bagshaw about her arts policies, her ideas on arts funding cuts and her thoughts on how the arts define Seattle’s city landscape.
