| Description | Mike Lowry's venerable shrimp feed fundraiser has been inherited by King County Councilman Bob Ferguson.
The "First Annual Bob Ferguson Shrimp Feed" is the 16th. Lowry will be there to "pass the plate and the tradition" to Ferguson. The two have known each other for years, but became closer in 2003 when Lowry was the only prominent Democratic politician to endorse Ferguson in his challenge to Cynthia Sullivan. "That was huge for me," Ferguson told me.
Lowry, the former governor and congressman and longtime Seattle liberal icon, once drew huge crowds for his shrimp feeds. When I arrived in the state in 1993 it was described to me in almost mythic terms. Lowry could always be counted on to give a rousing address to local Dems. |
