The values I learned from growing up in Northwest Washington drive my work in D.C. That is why I work to bring investment to our local community.
Will you chip in $15 before the end-of-quarter deadline so we can put our values first and continue to invest in local Northwest Washington projects?

Just this past summer, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) awarded a total of $38 million to four projects in Washington state:
- $26.76 million for the bp Cherry Point Refinery in Whatcom County to increase sustainable aviation fuel production and blending.
- $4.23 million for ZeroAvia in Everett to support the designing, building, and testing of hydrogen fuel cell-powered propulsion system technologies.
- $4.5 million for APiJET in Seattle to enhance a ground-based software tool for airlines that recommends fuel optimized routings.
- $2.59 million for Boeing to support its efforts to improve the measurement of fuel quality in an airplane fuel tank.
Additionally, I secured $82.4 Million in RAISE Grants for Northwest Washington since 2022:
- $25 million for Lynnwood's Poplar Way Bridge to construct a new six-lane, multimodal bridge over I-5 in Lynnwood, between the intersections of 196th Street SW (State Route 524)/Poplar Way and 33rd Avenue W/Alderwood Mall Boulevard.
- $25 million for Whatcom County's Lummi Island Ferry – to replace the 60-year-old Lummi Island ferry with an electric-battery hybrid ferry and build related infrastructure.
- $9.5 million for Blaine's Bell Road Project – to improve safety and accessibility and reduce congestion at the Bell Road (State Route 548)-BNSF at-grade rail crossing.
- $17.9 million for the Port of Bellingham's Shipping Terminal Rail Connection – to renovate a shipping terminal site to return it to a fully functioning multimodal terminal and allow for more efficient loading and unloading of railcars on the terminal.
- $4.975 million to the Tulalip Tribes – to plan, design, and construct improvements to the 4th Street and 88th Street NE crossings of I-5
The stakes could not be higher as we approach the end-of-quarter and Election Day. The progress we have made in the past years was only possible because we voted to protect our values and invest in our communities.
Will you chip in today? Just $15 before the end-of-quarter deadline will help build the momentum we need to protect our values in November.
More soon,
Rick
