I am so impressed with our newly minted title of being the only Arts District in the State. I would love for this title to become a trademark for our city and implement various ways to promote it. I would increase outreach to diverse communities to make our city as vibrant and diverse as the people who reside here and those who come to visit. I have been interested in the arts, culture, historic preservation and photography all my life and currently staff a King County Councilmember on these important issues. I've studied art history & design and I love learning new ways to incorporate the arts in our daily lives. I believe art & culture are truly paramount for everyone, as it relieves stress and brings diverse communities together. It increases our quality of life and makes our neighborhoods safer. I would welcome the opportunity to be a part of such a vital process for our lovely city of Edmonds. I thank you for your time and consideration. Cheers, 1 Ashley Song Packet Pg. 4 2.1.a Ashley H.
