Thanks to Stan Lock, one of West Seattle’s two city Neighborhood District Coordinators, for forwarding word of which city councilmembers are running which committees this year. This is important info since in Seattle, city councilmembers do not represent specific districts; 
instead, you can take concerns and issues to the specific councilmember(s) focusing on the most relevant area of concern. In addition to word that Richard Conlin succeeds Nick Licata as council president), here are today’s official committee announcements — Licata chairs Culture, Civil Rights, Health and Personnel as well as Labor Policy; West Seattle resident Tom Rasmussen (who also took the oath of office today after his opposition-less re-election run last fall) chairs Parks/Seattle Center; new councilmember Bruce Harrell chairs Energy and Technology; Conlin chairs Environment, Emergency Management, and Utilities; Jean Godden chairs Finance/Budget; Richard McIver chairs Housing/Economic Development; Sally Clark leads Planning, Land Use, and Neighborhoods; new councilmember Tim Burgess chairs Public Safety/Human Services/Education; and Jan Drago continues to chair the Transportation committee. Their contact info, e-mail as well as phone numbers, is all listed on this city webpage.
