\nFor Paula Waters, a UW Bothell alumna, serving the community is her full-time job. Much of that works happens these days through her seat on the Woodinville City Council \u2014 and she was just re-elected in 2017 to her second term. Waters also was a member of the Woodinville Planning Commission and was elected chair three times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Waters graduated with a bachelor\u2019s degree in liberal studies in 1998 and attributes her strong commitment to public service to the education she received.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI took an urban studies class at UW Bothell, and it sparked my interest in cities,\u201d she said. \u201c足彩app哪个是正规的 class helped me learn what makes a city great and how it can function successfully.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the four years she has already served as a city council member, she has focused on regional transportation, solid waste management and salmon restoration, among other issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI never knew I wanted to be in politics, but I have a natural tendency to be curious about people and a need to serve the community,\u201d she said. \u201cI have great concern for the environment as well, and it is one of my top priorities when it comes to policymaking. It\u2019s important to keep water sources clean, healthy and alive.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Waters describes herself as a lifelong learner and believes that exploring new ideas has helped her to continue to grow as a person and a community leader.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI am proud to be a UW Bothell alumna. 足彩app哪个是正规的 University taught me the value of learning,\u201d she said. 足彩app哪个是正规的 ability to be open minded is what has allowed the city council to make progress on some key issues facing the city, she added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOne project I am excited to have helped create is the \u2018Woodin Creek\u2019 housing development, located on Woodin Creek. This is our first centralized housing unit in downtown Woodinville, which we hope will add density and commerce to the area.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Waters understands that with development comes the risk of pollution and negative consequences to the ecosystem. She wants to make sure that this expansion is done in an environmentally friendly way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOne stipulation that we have for this building is that the developers have to make the stream it’s located on \u2018salmon friendly,\u2019 meaning that they pay attention to the stream in a way that promotes salmon life,\u201d she said. \u201c足彩app哪个是正规的y will accomplish this by adding foliage and making sure the water stays clean.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking ahead, Waters says she wants to be more involved with her alma mater. \u201cUW Bothell has become such a robust University, and as a city council member and alumna, I hope to contribute to its continued success.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
