Community Information

transportation housing diversity education environment

My community is a bedroom community for both Tacoma and Seattle, which it's the midpoint between. It shares many amenities and features with nearby towns and cities that do the same.

Federal Way, my city, is the 20th most diverse city in America, and nearby cities like Kent and Renton are respectively the 8th and 13th most diverse in the nation. Suffice to say, there are many significant ethnic, religious, and immigrant populations, including many people from Kenya, Nigeria, Ukraine, Russia, Mexico, Korea, Vietnam, the Indian Subcontinent, and more.

As a bedroom community, retail is a large segment of our commercial base – many commute to Tacoma or Seattle for industrial and F500 positions. Environmentally, the community is both coastal (Puget Sound) and served by a variety of arterial waterways, significant creeks, and abundant natural spaces.

We need local leaders fighting for jobs, worrying that our schools are underserved compared to those in larger metro areas, and concerned about environmental exploitation. The area suffers from high poverty and economic neglect, and quality representation would help a great deal.
