It has been my honor to represent our beautiful city with a commitment to community-first leadership. In my first term, I collaborated with neighbors, local businesses, and regional partners to secure $21 million in grants for key projects. I also advocated for the Wood Trails and Eastrail Parks and helped keep the transfer station out of Woodinville.

I'm running to maintain our natural environment, thoughtfully manage our growth so we improve our built environment, and increase local amenities. I’m also working to expand bus service that will connect us to Light Rail—efforts that will reduce traffic and support affordable housing.

We're just getting started; together we can ensure Woodinville remains the best place to live and take action on the things that will make us more prosperous, inclusive, and forward-looking. I am endorsed by the King County Democrats and a growing list available at james4woodinville.com

Woodinville is a beautiful oasis in the middle of busy metropolitan Seattle with lush farmland and peaceful neighborhoods. Unfortunately, in an effort to cater to developers, policies have been implemented that have caused rampant traffic issues and overcrowding, which if not properly dealt with, will lead to significant infrastructure problems and safety issues.  

My background as a former police officer has given me a hands-on understanding of public safety and infrastructure preservation. As a husband, father, and proud citizen of Woodinville, I want to focus on protecting what makes Woodinville the ideal place to live and raise a family. 

As a member of the Woodinville City Council, I will listen to and represent my neighbors so that their voice is heard on the city council and not drowned out by developers with deep pockets.
