“Living on campus, I got to prioritize my education,” she said. “Before I was kind of drowning. Being at Shoreline allowed me to get my CNA and work in healthcare, which I’ve wanted to do since I was a child.”
“At first, I self-sabotaged a little bit,” she said. “I dropped a class. Being a high school dropout, you don’t think you can finish.” But with the support of her CECO case manager and a new home in the residence hall, she was able to navigate those initial challenges.
“Living on campus made it feel possible,” she said. “Having a dorm room, having a desk, going to the library…there’s so much help on campus. Being in a space where everyone is here to learn, it makes you want to do that. I’m so grateful to get an education and to have a place to live while doing it. A degree can change your whole life.”
“Case managers are using it as a barrier-reducing tool for some of our most marginalized students so that they can continue with their education and employment goals,” said Dorje.
“You don’t want people to suffer. You want them to continue finding their meaning, but you need to have a basic material base to do so. This is what we’re doing. And it works.”
“Through our partnership with King County and the generosity of our donors, we have demonstrated that these issues are deeply connected and must be addressed together,” said President Kahn.
”By providing resources and supportive educational pathways for students experiencing housing insecurity, we are achieving outcomes that genuinely transform lives, and we are committed to expanding these efforts to reach even more members of our community.”

“It was hard to hear that this book that I loved so much was so dangerous that no family could decide for themselves it was right for their student to read,” Jones said. “It just wasn’t available anymore... I don’t see how that helps students learn.”
“We hope the videos spark community discussions about intellectual freedom across our state, and we invite Washingtonians of all ages to share their own stories of the power and joys they experience reading freely,” said Washington State Librarian Melody Sky Weaver.
As Washington State Book Award winner Rena Priest says in her video, “to me, the right to read freely means that I'm not limited by the fears of others about what I might learn about the world or about myself or how I might be shaped by the ideas of others.”

“We are fortunate to have found an incredibly qualified leader of our brand-new Inspector General’s office here at King County.
"He literally ‘teaches the class,’” said Councilmember Rod Dembowski, who was the lead sponsor of legislation to establish the office.
“I’m proud to have sponsored the legislation to create this new watchdog agency, and I look forward to working with Mr. Robinson as he stands up this new office and works to ensure that King County taxpayers are protected from waste, fraud and abuse.”
“Ultimately, this is about effective, transparent government and the King County Council’s dedication to providing it,” Robinson said. “I am incredibly honored to be leading an organization that will provide integrity, oversight, and measurable results for King County.”
“A 26-year FBI veteran is exactly the kind of candidate we hoped to attract when we created this office,” Dunn said. “At a time of sky-high costs, strained public trust, and continuing reports of financial misuse, King County taxpayers deserve a watchdog with the experience and authority to conduct rigorous oversight, pursue independent investigations, and ensure meaningful accountability. I’m glad taxpayers will now have someone of this caliber looking out for them.”
