Four candidates for the Sequim City Council are running unopposed this fall, but they’re getting their own town hall-style forum nonetheless.

The Independent Advisory Association is hosting a town hall for the four candidates — incumbents William Armacost and Jennifer States and council newcomers Tom Ferrell and Troy Tenneson — starting at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 9, in the city council chambers at the Sequim Civic Center, 152 W. Cedar St.

“Each one of these contests consists of a single candidate, thus virtually assuring the one candidate election to the position without having to campaign or meet with Sequim voters,” said Donnie Hall, principal for the Advisory Association.

“The Independent Advisory Association has been established to foster better government through improved access to candidates and elected officials among other activities.”

Candidates will answer two questions covering three topics:

• Role of the City of Sequim in the future of the John Wayne Marina

• Development of workforce housing in the City of Sequim

• Medication-assisted opioid treatment for Sequim

The town hall will take the form of question-and-answer between a moderator supplied by the association and candidates. Questions will be provided to candidates before the town hall. Candidates are asked to remain after the session for interaction with individual voters.

Because of limited seating, Hall noted, public participation will be limited to City of Sequim residents and members of the press, and no questions will be taken from the floor.

Each of the four candidates are scheduled to appear, Hall said, but noted States may not be able to attend because of a personal matter.

In the Nov. 5 general election, Armacost and States are running for City Council Positions 1 and 2 while Tenneson is running for Position 6 — now held by Bob Lake — and Ferrell for Position 7, now held by former mayor Candace Pratt. Lake and Pratt declined to run for their positions.
