Ferguson’s shrimp-feed fundraiser rescheduled for September

State Attorney General Bob Ferguson’s annual north Seattle “shrimp feed” fundraising event, which had been scheduled for Sunday, June 23, has been rescheduled for September.

State officials are barred from participating in fundraising activities during the legislative session, which twice has been extended this year.

Although Ferguson will not be on the ballot for four years, he plans to use the delayed event to raise money for candidates on the local ballot this year including Rod Dembowski, who succeeded Ferguson in representing District 1 on the Metropolitan King County Council.
