It is as easy to see as Mt. Rainier on a sunny day. Skip Priest is the most qualified, most experienced and most trusted community leader we could have found to take Federal Way through the important next steps to our new strong mayor form of city governance.

Skip has a history of working with community groups and activists in a non-partisan way to reach consensus and move our city forward. He has the respect and confidence of the business community, local leaders and regionally elected state representatives. But for a real perspective, talk to the people who served on our city’s various volunteer boards and commissions when Skip was chosen by our seven-member council in the early days of our incorporation as a city. Without question, Skip Priest is among our best and brightest and deserves our vote and support.
