Dear District 3 Residents,
It is an honor to represent you as your District 3 County Commissioner. It’s been a busy first few months! I’ve had the pleasure of meeting with many of you, advocating for the needs of Central Kitsap, and taking a deeper dive into county-wide projects and initiatives.
Through this newsletter, I look forward to sharing important information, upcoming events, and opportunities for you to become involved.
Warm regards, Katie
