Letter to the Editor: Observing the Candidates for City Council Position 1

To the Editor:

I am writing to offer my personal observations of the candidates in the upcoming election for City Council Position 1 between Keith McGlashan and Jin-Ah Kim.

Ms. Kim’s campaign flyer tries to discredit Mr. McGlashan by stating “He was Mayor when the Point Wells development was approved . . .”. While true that Mr. McGlashan was the Mayor, does Ms. Kim not know that it was Snohomish County where the property sits that approved the development? Or does she know and just not care if a true statement can be manipulated to imply something that makes your opponent sound bad? Not very good either way.

I saw Ms. Kim in person at a Democratic political meeting earlier this year. She attacked a candidate seeking an endorsement from the group by stating that an unflattering article was “the very first item that appears on a Google search of your name.” It was disappointing to learn later that the unflattering article was not really the first item that appeared on a Google search about the candidate. The article could be found, but it took some work and was clearly not “the very first item” that appeared. Ms. Kim seems comfortable distorting the truth for political advantage.

My observations of Keith McGlashan are very different. I do not know Mr. McGlashan well and don’t agree with every decision he has made, but I have found him to be informed and thoughtful about his decisions, and respectful and honest in our discussions.

Truth from our elected officials is still important, maybe more now than ever in the age of Trump. My concerns about Ms. Kim’s approach to politics and what that would mean for the Shoreline City Council led me to contribute to Mr. McGlashan’s campaign, and I urge Shoreline residents to vote for him in the upcoming election.
