OLYMPIA — The Washington State Redistricting Commission will hold
the last of its 16 summer hearings at the Seattle Municipal Building,
Aug. 2. The bipartisan commission, charged with redrawing the state’s
49 legislative and 9 congressional district boundaries, is seeking public
comment on the redrawing of political boundaries for the 2002 elections.
Since the public hearings began in mid-May, more than 500 people have
attended the meetings held throughout the state. Commissioners have invited
testimony on redistricting priorities, local political and physical geography
as well as insights on communities with common social, economic and cultural
interests.
