Karin Frost Blakley, candidate for Newcastle City Council in Washington State

Candidate Forum Statement

On Wednesday, October 22nd, the Newcastle Chamber of Commerce and the Newcastle Library hosted a candidate forum for all eight candidates for Newcastle City Council. Unfortunately, there were some technical difficulties in recording the event due to poor internet connection. Below is a version of the statement I made at the forum, which I recorded after the event.

About Karin

Over the past 30 years, Newcastle has proven to be a wonderful place to raise a family, to start a business, to make friends, and to give back. I have been honored to serve as President of Hazelwood PTSA, President of the Greater Newcastle Chamber of Commerce (board member for over 10 years), a Planning Commissioner (serving for 10 years), as well as organizing fun events such as the 2022 Newcastle Murder Mystery theatrical event.

I am running for Newcastle City Council because I believe it is vitally important to ensure that the City of Newcastle continues to be a place that is welcoming and safe for all of its residents and businesses.
