The Pierce County Auditor’s Office announced the opening of a special appointment period. Individuals are needed to write “For” and “Against” statements for the Nov. 4 general election local voters’ pamphlet in the following district:

The district did not appoint committee members to prepare statements for these measures in the local voters’ pamphlet. As a result, RCW 29A.32.280 directs the Auditor’s Office to seek out and appoint up to three members to form a committee.
