Doing hands-on work to safeguard democracy

The League of Women Voters of Seattle believes that sensible, responsible civil discourse and action based on substance rather than partisanship is essential for civic improvement and that we can help make democracy work through informed participation in government.

The League, while political, is non-partisan and does not support, rate, or endorse candidates. We do, however, sponsor free, non-partisan candidate debates, monthly public forums and ballot issues forums. We also advocate on issues such as education, transportation, land use, ethics and healthcare.

Nov. 4th General Election

Time Is Running Out!

Be a guest, volunteer or contribute an item to the Political Party and Auction on Sunday, October 26 at 4:30 pm!

Sign up today! There's fun to be had dashing for desserts, outbidding another table, asking a politician a burning question, sipping champagne and letting the festive atmosphere work its magic on your spirits. A treat is in store for those who have never heard either Justice Bobbe Bridge or Ken Alhadeff speak. There are bargains galore, so come bid the night away! To make an online reservation for dinner and the auction, just scroll to the bottom of the donation page. For more information, go to 32nd Political Party & Auction.

How about a volunteer job? We need filers, certificate runners, spotters, a cashier, greeters, and raffle ticket sellers the day of the auction. To volunteer, email funddevelopment@seattlelwv.org or call 206-329-4848.

Do you still have something to contribute? Please describe your auction item below. Anything goes--just use your imagination! If you're contributing a food item to be provided at a mutually agreed upon date or an intangible item, we'll make a poster or certificate for it. Please return this completed form as soon as possible. Your item will be listed in the Addendum that will be handed out the evening of the event. Mail your form to:

League of Women Voters of Seattle
1620 18th Avenue
Suite 101, Seattle, WA 98122

AND/OR fax it to 206-329-1273.
For more information, call 206-329-4848 or email info@seattlelwv.org.
