EVERETT, Wash. — “Drinks with Daniels” is back. Last fall, KING 5 Chief Reporter Chris Daniels sat down with multiple Seattle City Council candidates and is now venturing outside the city limits. He asked multiple western Washington mayors to meet up for a drink at one of their favorite locations and have a casual conversation about the issues that are important to them.
You’ll meet leaders from Everett, Kent, Federal Way, Bellevue and Tacoma, who chose everything from tea to beer to a mixed drink. The segments will air Feb. 10-14.
Cassie Franklin is the first woman to be mayor of Everett and comes from the non-profit sector, where she worked with homeless and at-risk youth. She talked about how Snohomish County is dealing with homelessness and housing affordability. Franklin also highlighted the massive renovation of the waterfront while enjoying a mixed drink at the Bluewater Distilling Company.
