Expanding parks and green space
Woodinville’s parks, trails, and forests are treasures we must protect and expand. From pollinator gardens to regional trail connections, I’ve worked to preserve open space while creating more opportunities to play, gather, and enjoy our natural surroundings.
We’ve already made progress: renewing our Tree City USA designation, becoming a Bee City USA, and eliminating the use of poisons on city property. These steps build a healthier, more sustainable community for today and for future generations.
Key initiatives I’ve championed:
Aquatics & Community Center Exploration: Partnering with Northshore Parks & Recreation Service Area (NPRSA) to explore one of the community’s top requests: a new aquatics and community center.
Eastrail Expansion : Serving as Woodinville’s appointee to the Eastrail Advisory Council, working with regional partners to bring this long-awaited trail connection to life.
$5 Million in Federal Trail Funding: Secured critical funds that will accelerate Eastrail trail planning and expansion by at least a decade sooner than otherwise possible.
Dog Park Development: Identifying potential sites and working with the city and community members to create a safe, accessible off-leash park.
Wood Trails Expansion: Advancing a 53-acre soft-surface trail system linking the Warehouse District to Wellington for outdoor exploration and recreation.
Sammamish River Access: Developing a kayak & paddleboard launch to make the river more accessible for residents and visitors.
Wilmot Gateway Park Stage : Secured a $250,000 county grant to support planning and permitting for a new stage for concerts, performances, and community events.
Whether it’s a quiet forest trail, a safe dog park, or a lively summer concert, our investments in parks and green space make Woodinville a healthier, more connected, and more vibrant place to live.
