Candidates will give brief opening and closing statements and will respond to specific questions from the public.
Bellevue
Gay-rights group
drops lawsuit
A national gay-rights group this week said it will drop a lawsuit against the city of Bellevue after city officials approved employment benefits for domestic partners of city employees.

Lambda Legal sued the city in April on behalf of three gay city employees who said they were unable to get time off to attend family funerals or pay for health care for their partners.
The Bellevue City Council approved the employment benefits for domestic partners — straight and gay — in June.
Lambda Legal initially said it wanted to see how the benefits were implemented before deciding whether to drop the lawsuit. The group this week said that city employees were enrolling for the benefits without any problems.
