Two City Council candidate forums, dealing specifically with senior citizen issues, will be held in the coming weeks. Incumbent Dan Grausz and Ira Appelman will appear at each to share their views and listen to what voters have to say.

Both events will focus on the needs of Mercer Island seniors and how the city is responding to their concerns. Senior adults account for approximately one-third of the Island’s population.

The first will be held at Island House, 7810 S.E. 30th St., from 7 to 8 p.m. on Sept. 30, and the second will be at Aljoya, 2430 76th Ave. S.E., from 7:30 to 8:30 p.m. on Oct. 1.
