I still went, but it took me 7 years to get through because I dropped my credit load to part-time. Had to work to pay each semester and avoid loans!

We put our son through college and med. school. Cost a bunch but we budgeted for years.

Mayor Fitz has already indicated there’s a water issue so why are we bringing a huge business into Redmond without a resolution first? There’s also a huge traffic consideration that needs to be addressed.

You can grow or you can die. If parents want their children to grow up and to live here we need growth to do that. Good jobs! Next we need to get the cost of housing here down so people who grow up here can afford to buy homes here!

Amazon jobs are not good jobs. For example, they make their employees pee in plastic bottles...
