Does Seattle need new LEADERSHIP? City Council members with neighborhood EXPERIENCE and COMMITMENT? More EFFECTIVE management? You, the voter, decide !! CURT FIRESTONE has the management and community leadership skills needed by Seattle today!! TRAFFIC GRIDLOCK. Curt Firestone will put political muscle into building the monorail. There must be service into all neighborhoods starting with Ballard and West Seattle. Curt worked hard to help the voters pass I-53, re-electing the monorail. He will insist that Sound Transit build a regional system using existing transit corridors. He will ensure that buses, ferries, rail lines, taxis, flex-cars and bicycles are all part of the solution. PUBLIC SAFETY. FIRE DEPT: Before another Seattle firefighter is injured or dies, Curt Firestone wants Seattle to meet national staffing standards and to replace our inadequate training center.
