I first became aware of Lynne Robinson when I appeared before the Bellevue park board some years ago. I noticed that she had actually read the input submitted to her (not all that common), listened to the testimony from me and others, asked thoughtful questions, and then let the audience know why she made the decision she made.

The city is still growing. Bellevue has had many stewards guiding it from a small semi-rural community into the multi-faceted mid-sized city that it is today. I believe the key guidance needed now is to achieve appropriate balance between competing factions clamoring for attention.

Lynne Robinson has the record and life experience I want as a Bellevue City councilmember to help guide us into our future.
