My goal if re-elected to City Council is to realize the vision of our downtown described in the City’s recently updated Comprehensive Plan. That means protecting and enhancing our neighborhoods while promoting a downtown that is walkable, bike-able, leafy, green, environmentally sustainable, culturally enriching, and architecturally exemplary, where interesting and smart people want to live with their families, where Woodinville’s empty-nesters can downsize, and where people who work here can also live. It’s time to make this idea real.

I am a former Woodinville Planning Commissioner, elected chair 3 times; formerly active in parent-involved preschools; a former PACE parent; member of 21 Acres and the Sierra Club. I have served 4 years as City Council representative to regional transportation, solid waste, and salmon recovery boards and committees, and to the Woodinville Chamber of Commerce.
