Nancy Whitten ends 12 years on the Sammamish City Council as its leading environmentalist.
With the year-end Sammamish City Council meeting last night, the end of an era comes with it.
Nancy Whitten ends 12 years on the Council. With her departure comes the loss of the Council’s most aggressive, consistent advocate for the environment. Others on the Council can legitimately lay claim to environmental credentials, but it’s Whitten and her lawyerly approach to documents who so often spotted loopholes, reversals and inconsistencies in ordinances and, more recently, in the rewrite of the City’s Comprehensive Plan.
Who’s going to be the leading environmentalist on the Council now that she is gone?
The answer may surprise you. It’s Bob Keller.
Two City Council Members will be leaving office on Dec. 31. Regardless of politics surrounding each,
Nancy Whitten
regardless of differences over policies and demeanor, each deserves the thanks of Sammamish residents for their willingness to step up and provide public service. Too few people are willing to do so.
Nancy Whitten decided to retire after three terms on the Council. She is unquestionably the leading environmentalist on the Council, and her interest in this arena predates her service on the Council and incorporation of Sammamish.
