Angela Birney announces campaign for Redmond City Council Position 5

Today, Parks and Trails Commissioner Angela Birney announced her campaign for Redmond City Council Position 5.  “I will be a fresh voice representing our community,” said Birney.  “Redmond is experiencing unprecedented growth and development.  As a 17-year resident, I understand what makes Redmond a unique and desirable place to live, work, and play.  As we continue to grow, it is important to balance urban development with enhancements to our thriving local neighborhoods.  From making innovative transportation solutions to developing our neighborhood parks, it will be important to find ways to engage residents of Redmond in long range planning.  As a parent, community volunteer, and neighbor I am eager to offer my experience and insights to Redmond City Council.”

 

Currently, Birney serves as the vice chair of the City of Redmond’s Parks and Trails Commission and is a community representative on the Lake Washington School District Middle School Science Adoption Committee.  She has served on the Episcopal Church of the Holy Cross vestry, Norman Rockwell PTA Board, Lake Washington Schools Foundation Junior High Science Grant Committee, as well as other volunteer positions in and around Redmond.
