Rep. Maxwell taking on a newcomer for 41st seat By DEAN A. RADFORD dradford@rentonreporter.com
State Rep. Marcie Maxwell in her third race for the state House of Representatives is facing a Republican opponent new to the 41st District. Tim Eaves of Issaquah was redistricted out of the 48th District in northeast King
County, where he was active in Republican politics, following the 2010 Census. He chose to run in the 41st District just before filing ended because no Republicans had stepped up to run against Maxwell for House Position 1 or the other House Democrat, Judy Clibborn. Clibborn is running unopposed for House Position 2. Eaves said in an interview with the
Renton Reporter editorial board that it’s good to give voters a choice. In their matchup in the August primary election, Maxwell received 58 percent of the vote to Eaves’ 42 percent. Maxwell and Eaves differ on their connections to Renton and their politics. Maxwell has sold real estate in Renton and the broader area for 23 years and has
held numerous leadership positions in local organizations, including the Renton Chamber of Commerce, the Renton Rotary Club, the PTA and the Renton Community Foundation. She served eight years on the Renton School Board. Eaves has co-owned a metal-fabrication [ more District 41 page 9 ]

That’s the message Preeti Shridhar, the city’s deputy public affairs administrator, conveys.

The City of Renton and the King County Library System will host another open house and update on library plans at 6 p.m. Tuesday in the City Hall Conference Center on the seventh floor. Shridhar reports that the Cedar River library is in the preliminary engineering phase and there is no building design under way right now. “The architects need to understand the limitations imposed by structural and seismic conditions and corrections before they can begin,” wrote Shridhar in an email. “We understand this engineer[ more library page 9 ]
