Protecting Our Natural Heritage

I chose Issaquah for its breathtaking natural beauty, just like many of you did. The lush green hills and sparkling streams create a picturesque backdrop that enriches our lives and enhances our community. As a member of the Climate Action Plan Committee, I am thrilled to support our green initiatives like the Creeks to Peaks project, which aims to connect our trails and enhance access to the great outdoors for everyone.

Preserving Kokkanee is particularly important for Issaquah, as it symbolizes our commitment to safeguarding the natural ecosystems that define our region. The health of our local waterways and the wildlife they support are integral to the vibrant character of our city. By protecting these precious resources, we ensure that our green hills and streams remain a source of joy and inspiration for all residents and visitors alike.

I am committed to continuing my advocacy for sustainable growth in our community, ensuring that future generations can enjoy the stunning landscapes we cherish today. Together, let’s preserve Issaquah’s beauty, including its vital Kokkanee populations, for years to come!
