Siri Bliesner, of Redmond, is running in an uncontested race for the Lake Washington School Board this fall. She will replace outgoing board member Ravi Shahani.

Although Bliesner does not live in Sammamish, school board seats are voted on by the district as a whole, and decisions she makes will impact Sammamish families in the Lake Washington district. The general election is Nov. 8.

Bliesner works in public health and graduated from Stanford with a degree in human biology and received a masters in public health from the University of Washington, she said. She speaks Spanish and currently works for Hopelink as the outcome and evaluation coordinator.  Read More >>

Originally from the Seattle area, she and her husband of 18 years, David Cline, have two children. Samara attends Redmond High School and Josiah attends Redmond Junior High. For the past 10 years, Bliesner has volunteered in her children’s schools. She is a founding board member of the Lake Washington Schools Foundation and developed their classroom grant program. Bliesner has also helped implement several after-school activities like chess club, math club, Lego league robotics and school musical productions. She has received a Golden Acorn Award from the Rockwell PTA for her work in that school’s community.
