Seattle mayoral candidates debate the issues

SEATTLE -- Five candidates attended a forum at the Immanuel Lutheran Church in South Lake Union Saturday.

Transportation needs, youth homelessness, future development and police reform were among the topics up for discussion.

“We need a 21st century police force,” said candidate Peter Steinbrueck.

State Sen. Ed Murray, D-Seattle, was one of the three candidates missing from Sunday’s forum. He was called to work in the Legislature’s  special session.
