Residency Questions in District 3 Race

When the Tacoma City Council election results were coming in a few weeks ago, Lauren Walker easily took the top slot for District 3.  The more interesting question seemed to be who would take number 2 and proceed to the general election.  In the end, Ronnie Allen Walker prevailed, but…  Well, we didn’t expect this.  The Tacoma Daily Index is reporting that Donald Powell – one of the candidates for the seat – is alleging that Ronnie Allen Warren does not live in the District.

There are emails, phone calls, and more details via the:
Tacoma Daily Index.

For reference:

PRIMARY RESULTS
Jack Pleasant 375 votes – 11.81%
Donald N. Powell   404 votes – 12.73%
Ronnie Allen Warren   429 votes – 13.52%
Lauren Walker   1,932 votes – 60.87%

    I checked out all of the pictures on the Tacoma Sun website.

    This is clearly and X-Files case. These things will come to life and start walking around downtown if they’re exposed to sunlight. Last time these things were around they built Stonehenge. Hmmm…maybe they could hasten the completion of the Hotel Murano art work.

    I love(d) everything about Never Never Land…..gosh, maybe I should steal them. I mean, that pic looks like a tragic ToonTown kidnap for ransom scenario……….

    The creepiest part of taking these photos was actually before the light was turned on. Opening a door to find the faint silhouette of the figures gave me the willies! There’s a movie waiting to happen…

    Aslan must be on the move.

    If there is a wardrobe down there DONT’T ENTER IT. The white witch is very upset about global warming.

    There also one in the back kitchen area of Capers (downtown).

    I think its the “Pie Maker.” You can see him if you are at the register and look through the kitchen.

    He stands about 8 feet off the floor and is facing toward you. About 6 feet tall. A bit spooky even in broad daylight.

    How did these get there?

    How scary to be the person that found those who didn’t expect it. But also, how cool to find them. I see true Tacoma heritage! I remember when I was shorter than most of the figures. Wow.
