Honda meets my qualifications for council | Letters

Once again it is time for the people of Federal Way to choose the elected officials that will lead the city into the future. This is a difficult time with a host of serious issues awaiting the future city council.

I believe that we need council members that are dedicated to ensuring that Federal Way continues to move forward in creating a city that is conducive to raising families in a safe community, providing jobs for its residents and offering recreational activities to Federal Way’s diverse population.

The future city council must deal with all of these issues in a timely manner, using creative approaches to solving problems in a cooperative atmosphere.

For me, the person who best meets these qualifications is Susan Honda. She has proven her dedication to the City of Federal Way by the numerous committees that she has served on. She has worked with the PTA, the Federal Way School District, the Federal Way traffic department and the Boys and Girls Clubs, to name just a few. This range of experience shows me that she is willing to take on any task and is able to work effectively with a wide variety of people to achieve results. Her decision not to seek an endorsement from either political party increases my trust in her ability to work for the good of all Federal Way citizens.

I encourage all voters to consider Susan Honda for Federal Way City Council this November.

Walter Crahan, Federal Way
