TULALIP — Snohomish County Executive Aaron Reardon and 44th District state Rep. Mike Hope will be tackling the issues facing the county, its residents and its businesses during the Greater Marysville Tulalip Chamber of Commerce’s Candidate Forum.

The forum will take place during the Chamber’s monthly Business Before Hours in the Canoes Cabaret of the Tulalip Resort Casino, which runs from 7-9 a.m. on Sept. 30. The event is intended to give both candidates for Snohomish County Executive — incumbent Reardon and challenger Hope — an opportunity to answer questions from an audience and each other.

The Chamber will provide a moderator to guide the two candidates through topics ranging from their general views of and vision for Snohomish County, down to specific issues such as accommodating recent and future annexations, economic development, tourism, employment and commercial airline operations at Paine Field.

The doors open at 7 a.m. for breakfast and the program itself runs from 7:30-9 a.m. Space is limited, so call or email your reservations to save your seat.
