A conversation with an old friend, a fun friend, a wise friend.  Also, a great friend to community. Gary is a fantastic story teller, one of my favorite, in fact.  So many stories about growing up in the neighborhood, race car driving, some interesting life choices, staying on his toes at home, sprint boat antics and living in and loving our community.  It's always entertaining to be in Gary's presence and very often enlightening too!  You may not know Gary before you hit the play button but you will feel like you have another friend by the time this podcast is over.

“Throughout my career, I have brought diverse coalitions together to pass landmark policy changes. I want to bring that progress to the King County Council so that all working families can be healthy, housed and resilient.
Together we can invest in behavioral health and public health, expand housing that allows all of our neighbors to stay stably housed, and invest in child care, transit and training and apprenticeships for working families, which in turn supports small businesses and our local economy.”    Teresa Mosqueda

IWC's Pat and Christian reign in the fall and Homecoming season with Evergreen HS ASB president Felix Koontz! Listening to Felix reflect about belonging and what it might take to change school culture is truly inspiring! Felix is a smart, wicked funny, thoughtful, strategic leader who is diligently working, alongside his friends in leadership, to make Evergreen the school that they and their community is dreaming for it to be, the school that our community's students deserve for it to be!  It's hard work but Felix and his fellow Wolverines are determined!   We also talk Homecoming, Wolverine affinity groups, assemblies and athletics, White Sunday, news and new projects in the community, and things to look out for this fall.
