The Civic Cocktail series brings political, business and community leaders to Seattle for a drink and a line of questioning from reporters and attendees. The most recent session featured Senator Patty Murray and former Washington Governor and U.S. Commerce Secretary Gary Locke.

Murray took questions on the First Amendment, Scott Pruitt, Betsy DeVos, the Trump Administration tax cuts, women running for office, homelessness, gun control and the prospects for presidential impeachment.

Locke spoke to issues surrounding the upcoming census, President Trump’s pending tariffs, our relationship with China and the North Korea situation.
