“You are one of the few politicians in the region that
appreciate the major challenges in preparing our 19th century infrastructure
and programs for the demands of the 21st century. You have done so
with an appreciation that these solutions will demand a level of regional
cooperation that is unprecedented in the Puget Sound region. I have
been very impressed by your tireless work building the regional political
coalitions needed to upgrade our utilities, solve longstanding water
quality problems, and rebuild salmon populations in our rivers and
lakes.
“Your ability to balance Seattle’s interests with the greater interests
of the region has been impressive and has kept many of the other players at the
table.” |

“Among
her many accomplishments on the City Council, Councilmember
Pageler’s leadership on environmental and public health issues
is most notable. Her dedication to a wide range of critically important
environmental issues – from clean water to affordable and clean
energy to growth management – has earned Councilmember Pageler
widespread respect and admiration throughout Seattle. Many of our
city’s most noteworthy environmental accomplishments are attributable
to Councilmember Pageler and her ability to get the support for her
initiatives from both her Council colleagues and the citizens of
Seattle.” |

support in a tough budgeting process for public health and

you and you were clear from the beginning.

for building a stronger health care safety net. And your call
for a statewide answer for funding is essential. It is hugely
reassuring to have in the office you hold. Thank you for doing
this vital work!”
