North Ward candidage Melanie Keenan will bring a diverse background to City Council that will complement those with legal training.

None of the council candidates or current council has her scientific background or experience in project permitting and regulatory compliance.

Melanie has worked professionally for 25 years with Fortune 500 companies, municipalities in Western Washington and environmental consulting firms.

She has run her own business and works with clients to solicit work and meet project goals and deadlines. She has also served as a scientific investigator and writer for several municipal ground-water management plans in King County, coordinating with technical and non-technical contributing parties.

She has professional experience working in a financial high stakes and regulatory driven industry.  She would be a great asset on council.
