Letter to the Editor: Shoreline City Council, Position #1

To the Editor:

The defenders of the incumbent for Shoreline City Council, Position #1, Keith McGlashan, refuse to acknowledge, much less discuss, his very serious and obvious ethical problem. McGlashan is a real estate broker helping to make land-use decisions for our city, decisions that could directly affect his personal income and business opportunities. Personal integrity would require him to recuse himself from participating in these discussions and decisions, but this has not happened.

McGlashan played a significant role in the adoption by the council of the radical rezones in 2015-2016, in the neighborhoods of the planned transit stations. The provisions in the relevant ordinances were outrageously favorable to developers, but terrible for the families living in the rezones.

Ask these thousands of families in the two radical rezone areas how their lives have been upended by the decisions McGlashan made, despite the hundreds of residents who came to testify against the rezone plans, multiple times.

These families did not ask to stop all rezoning in the relevant areas but simply to reduce the affected areas to no larger than required by the Washington State Growth Management Act. They were met with total intransigence by McGlashan, who rejected anything less threatening to their middle-income, single-family, long-time established neighborhoods.

Jin-Ah Kim brings a far more enlightened and compassionate attitude to governance. Kim does not want to impose unwanted and unnecessary changes on any neighborhood. She understands the healing value of apologizing for errors, of treating differences of opinion as just that, rather than as battlegrounds where enemies go for the kill.

We need Kim’s commitment to seeking what’s best for our residents without being beholden to any special interests. A vote for Jin-Ah Kim is a vote for improved community harmony and responsive city government.
