Seattle Adult Entertainment: Mayoral candidates debate issues

The candidates also used the debate to highlight the differences between them on issues like annexation, public safety and the city budget.
“We have a real choice this year,” Smith said. “Choice is good. The current mayor and I disagree on just about everything.”
The candidates first squared off on annexation. Marine, who is generally in favor of annexation, said he saw it as a way to control development in unincorporated areas and diversify Mukilteo’s tax base.
Smith, who argued against annexation, said adding areas to the city that don’t share Mukilteo’s “values” — or have incidences of crime and prostitution — could take away from the city’s character. If Mukilteo continues to annex these areas, Smith asked, “are we still going to be a top 10 city,” referring to CNN/Money Magazine’s recent list of “100 America’s Best Towns and Cities to Live In” that ranked Mukilteo as No. 10.
