Von Reichbauer, Eide announce proposal to immediately move forward with Federal Way light rail planning 2/6/2012
State Sen. Tracey Eide, D-Federal Way, joined King County Council Member Pete von Reichbauer and two other members of the Sound Transit Board today to support a proposal to establish a shovel-ready plan for extending light rail to Federal Way.
"Connecting South King County's largest population and employment center to the regional light rail system is not only critical to local residents but to the entire region and state," said von Reichbauer. "Sound Transit has never stopped working to find a way to get light rail to Federal Way. This proposal calls for acting on our commitment by moving forward immediately with the engineering and environmental review needed to get the project shovel-ready. This would include the Sound Transit Board making a final alignment decision. While we develop a specific route and cost estimate we will work with any and all partners to meet the challenge of funding construction."

Good teachers and strong schools change lives 12/15/2011
I want to share the stories of a teen mother and two struggling students who said an alternative high school in Granite Falls helped them keep their lives on track.
It's stories like theirs that show how impactful a public school can be - and how important fully funding public education is to the community at large.
