We want to whole-heartedly endorse Charles Peterson for Snoqualmie City Council.

As Valley residents for 23 years, we know the hard work and dedication it takes to be an effective council member. We both served on the council for North Bend.

The council needs to represent all parts of the community. Every citizen needs a voice.

Charles Peterson has the ability to represent the historic downtown community as well as the new community of Snoqualmie Ridge. He perceives the needs of both areas, and works hard to find solutions to the thorny challenges of growth.

Peterson has the institutional memory critical to making the best decisions. Those who know history are not doomed to repeat it. As Snoqualmie grapples with the newest growth challenge of the old mill area, Charles is the council member who knows from experience the process that would culminate in creating Snoqualmie Ridge.

There is no member of Council we hold in higher esteem or have greater respect for than Charles.

Please vote for him for City Council. Experience and wisdom are vital for good governance.
