Don’t forget to attend Wednesday’s Maple Leaf General Community meeting, which begins at 7 p.m. at Olympic View Elementary, 504 N.E. 95th St. Although parks updates will likely take up much of the meeting, a few members of Maple Leaf Community Council’s executive board also are up for election, including President Joshua Newman, Matt Stockbridge (profile to come), and our featured board member of the day, Tyler Letey:
Full name: Tyler Letey
Current occupation: Attorney with the Washington State Department of Financial Institutions
When did you move to Maple Leaf and why? 2001. Maple Leaf had all the things my wife and I were looking for; close to downtown, walkable to shops, and still have a big yard. Besides, it was the nicest neighborhood in our budget.
What current Maple Leaf issue are you most excited about? Certainly having a new park space that is so large is going to have a tremendous positive impact on our neighborhood, but I am also excited about how Maple Leaf continues to grow with our own identity, not just “the place with Snappy Dragon.”
What is one thing you hope to accomplish while on the executive board? Phase one of complete and total world domination. (Insert sinister laugh.)
