I have always considered myself extremely fortunate to have stumbled upon Bothell to make a home for raising kids. Now that mine are long out of school, I continue to relish my good fortune. You see, we moved into one of the best school districts in the state. And — Northshore continues that promise today.

Fortunately, the voters in Northshore have always stood up to provide the necessary resources for our schools. Now, more than ever, Northshore schools need our support, as state funding dwindles. We must continue that proud tradition. On Feb. 9, I’m voting YES on all three school measures, and I hope you will join me.
