Huckabay will keep Sammamish great

Published 7:43 am Thursday, October 3, 2013

Sammamish is a young city, but it already has a national reputation as a great place to live, work, and play. We also enjoy a triple AAA credit rating, while building needed roads, parks and other amenities. Kathleen Huckabay, as mayor and as a long serving city council member, was right in the middle of making that happen. I am thrilled that she wants to rejoin the council.

As a council member, Kathy worked effectively at the state and regional level to make sure the city receives its fair share of transportation and park funding. She has been ready to take reasoned votes for the environment, transportation, and parks. Making sure Sammamish remains a great city, even as it grows, takes this balanced approach. Kathy has a passion to help the city be great 10 and a 100 years from now.

Now in our second decade as a city, we need her long view of the future and her focus on efficient services and the environment to insure that Sammamish remains the great place it is.

I ask that you join me this fall in voting for Kathleen Huckabay for Sammamish City Council.

Mark Cross, Sammamish
