Curt Firestone stands for a livable Seattle that puts people first, especially those people who are not directly benefiting from Seattle's economic prosperity. In the recent past, city resources have been disproportionately funneled into corporate projects like sports stadiums and parking garages. It is time to refocus our resources on neighborhoods and quality of life issues.

Curt Firestone has been active in politics and social services for over 3 decades. His work has focused on the need to improve environmental stewardship and services for families and our more vulnerable residents.

Community leadership:

  • Chair, King County Family Planning Advisory Board
  • Vice President of the Washington State Rainbow Coalition
  • Co-founder of the Seattle Progressive Coalition
  • Coordinating Council Member of the Green Party

Political experience:

  • First Vice President of the 37th District Democrats
  • Three time delegate to the Washington State Democratic Convention

Professional experience:

  • 17 years as Executive Director and Administrator for county mental health and non-profit developmental disabilities organizations
  • 13 years self-employed tax consultant business

Curt Firestone and his wife, Gwen McDonald, RN, reside in the Leschi community.

Curt Firestone's priorities include:

Economic Responsibility

  • Capital improvement projects to Seattle neighborhoods: community/ youth centers, parks, street and sidewalk repair
  • Support and development of small business
Environmental Responsibility
  • Protect forests and watershed areas
  • Public transit that offers efficient, fast alternatives to dependence on autos
Social Responsibility
  • Amend or revoke discriminatory sections of the "Civility laws" that target youth, people of color, and the homeless
  • Protections for renters
  • Assistance for first time home buyers
  • More homeless shelters and day programs
Working People
  • Wage levels that meet families' income needs
  • The freedom to choose a union
Curt Firestone's outstanding community leadership combined with his business background earned him the following endorsements as of August 2, 1999:
