Which candidates for mayor will make safe streets a top priority? Find out Monday at a mayoral candidate forum hosted in Madison Valley by Seattle Neighborhood Greenways and sponsored by a long list of safe streets groups, including Seattle Bike Blog. In fact, I just may be one of the evening’s MCs along with Bike Works Executive Director Deb Salls!
