Letter to the Editor: I want Janet Way to represent me

To the Editor:

I am voting for Janet Way Shoreline City Council. I want others to know and understand her most redeeming quality--her passion for this city and its people and environment. It seems others before me have recognized that very quality as it is mentioned in almost every letter. Sometimes people find passionate actions uncomfortable on the surface. But one must remember that the passion fuels effort for knowledge, effort for educating others, effort to make changes happen where others have retreated. Janet's efforts have been outstanding in all those areas as shown by her achievements in preserving Paramount Park, daylighting Thornton Creek, and advocating for a sustainable Shoreline. She certainly does not just "go along to get along". We are going to need this energy and passion in the upcoming possible conflicts over Point Wells development and Seattle PUD incorporation to represent the best interests of Shoreline. She will listen to the citizens, educate where it is needed, then not be afraid to voice those interests.

I want a tough yet responsive and passionate individual to represent me. Look no further than Janet Way.
