The City of Burien is hosting a welcoming event on June 9, 2022, for community members to meet the candidates vying for the City Manager position. Scheduled from 6:30 to 8:30 p. m. at the Burien Community Center, the event will feature around six candidates who will be stationed for direct interaction with attendees. Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions and provide anonymous feedback on each candidate, which will be shared with the City Council during the decision-making process.

To enhance community engagement, light refreshments will be served, and Spanish interpretation services will be available. This initiative aims to foster transparency and inclusivity as the City Council prepares to conduct two rounds of public interviews following the open house. Residents are encouraged to participate actively and voice their opinions about the candidates. For those seeking more information, further details can be found at burienwa. gov/CityManagerSearch.

This event represents a significant step in the city's governance, allowing residents to play a vital role in shaping their local administration.
