Two island residents, George Zweibel (Orcas Island) and Sandy Bishop (Lopez Island), asked the candidates for the San Juan County Council questions regarding affordable housing. These questions were designed to gather insights on how each candidate plans to address this critical issue.
Running for Position 1 from San Juan Island are Kari McVeigh and Stephanie O’Day. Running for Position 2 from Orcas Island are Rick Hughes and Justin Paulsen.
The questions cover a range of topics related to affordable housing, including the Council’s role in addressing the housing crisis, specific code changes to encourage development, and the importance of housing for seniors and those on fixed incomes.
