Dear Friends and Neighbors, Seattle is a dynamic, diverse and beautiful city. It is an honor to serve as Mayor and I am proud of our achievements. Transportation. When I took office no city transportation plan existed and Sound Transit had made major financial and strategic mistakes. Today we are tackling congestion: synchronizing lights, fixing potholes and roads, improving neighborhood bus and van service, and promoting efficient transportation alternatives. We are finding solutions for our aging and earthquake-damaged bridges, including the Viaduct and Magnolia Bridge. County Executive Ron Sims and I have proposed new strategies that can get light rail started now. Environmental leadership. We preserved 96,000 acres of the Cedar River Watershed, banning all logging - forever. Our Parks For All program purchased 230 acres of open space and funded over 100 park improvements. We doubled the available salmon spawning habitat, planted 27,000 trees, and are lowering greenhouse gases below the Kyoto Protocol standards. This record has earned my endorsement by Washington's League of Conservation Voters. Better, Safer Schools. Pam and I led our successful school levy and building excellence campaigns and I-728. All are vital to our goal of helping every child achieve and succeed. Our Children. Under my leadership, Seattle is providing thousands of kids high quality before- and after-school programs. We also enrolled 12,000 needy children into comprehensive health care programs. Improving our neighborhoods. When elected I promised it was "our neighborhoods' turn". The results? Unprecedented investment in Seattle's neighborhoods — 24 neighborhood libraries, 11 new or remodeled Community Centers. Neighborhood parks across the city are being improved and better maintained. By tripling the neighborhood grants program more than 850 neighborhood improvement projects are a reality. Public Safety. Crime is down and citizen surveys show that we feel safer in Seattle than four years ago. City Council, our new Police Chief and I are tackling the difficult issues of racial profiling. We are making good progress. I am committed to ensuring that everyone in Seattle feels safe and is treated with equal respect. Leading Seattle is a rewarding challenge — including managing more than 10,000 employees. My endorsement by our city employee unions speaks to the positive partnership we have established. I want very much to continue serving all of Seattle and ask for your vote to continue the important work still to be done.
