As a resident living across the street from Foster Memorial Park I feel it's important for the
neighborhoods impacted by the acitivities at the parks to have a voice. I also feel it's important for
the Parks and Recreation Department to know what residents deal with on a regular basis. Instead
of just being a complaining resident I'm signing up to be a part of the solution as well as a voice for
my neighbors and neighborhood.
My twenty-two year career has been spent in Parks & Recreation and Education including five
years with the Tukwila School District. I currently work for Seattle Parks and Recreation and fully
understand and believe in the importance and value of Parks and Recreation Programming. I
come from a family who has made Tukwila home for over three generations and was taught by the
best the importance of being involved in community. The Pea Patch at Riverton Park, Gully
Gardens, is named for my grandparents and I want to ensure their legacy is continued.
