Hey Whatcom County: fill out the poll for Cascadia Daily's "Citizens Agenda" and shape the questions they will ask of local candidates. In particular, I encourage you to pick #15 about Ranked Choice Voting and #36 about Gerrymandering, but there are a lot of other good topics on there too.

A big article in the #CascadiaDaily about the recent Whatcom County charter review meeting about #RankedChoiceVoting. It was really a fascinating meeting with four invited guests who are #RCV experts from around the country. Well worth watching the video of the meeting (linked at the end of the article) https://www.cascadiadaily.com/2025/may/14/ranked-choice-voting-considered-in-whatcom-but-it-would-cost-auditor-says/

What are all those yellow stakes about? Kayakers gather to call for removal of Snake River dams, Vancouver's wide-open election, how to spend $240K in Seattle, bigleaf maples are dying and no one knows why, a Portland author on her open marriage, and poetry by Michael Schmeltzer.
