“It is with enthusiasm that I announce that I will be running for re-election for my current position on the North Bend City Council,” Jeanne Pettersen said last week. “I have been deeply honored to represent you for over seven years and would like to serve one more term. Much has been accomplished with the help and input from our residents, but there is much more to do.”

Pettersen holds Position 6. She is Chairperson of the city’s Community & Economic Development Committee and serves as a member of the Transportation & Public Works Committee. She is also a member of the Association of Washington Cities Board of Directors.

“A top priority for me will always be public safety,” Pettersen said. “Other goals include: To provide a safe and efficient traffic infrastructure; to maintain financial solvency; to attract additional and varied businesses to add vibrancy to the downtown core; to respect private property rights while continuing to work through zoning regulation changes to reduce density and to increase architectural diversity and green space within developments; and to continue to support improved opportunities for outdoor recreation in our city parks and trail systems.”

The general election will be Tuesday, Nov. 7.
