Shaping Policy Together Through the Public Issues Committee

From 2022 to 2024, I had the privilege of serving as Duvall’s representative on the Sound Cities Association (SCA) Public Issues Committee (PIC)—a regional table where every member city has a voice and a vote.

Why does this matter for Duvall? Because so many of the decisions that shape our daily lives—on housing, transportation, public safety, climate, and more—start at the regional level. PIC is where city leaders come together to review policy proposals, share perspectives, and make recommendations that go on to the SCA Board of Directors.

For Duvall, that means ensuring our unique needs as a small city are heard alongside those of larger cities. It’s where we can speak up about the realities of living and working in the Snoqualmie Valley, and make sure those priorities are reflected in regional policy.

It may be work that happens behind the scenes, but it’s one of the most important ways we protect our seat at the table—and make sure Duvall’s voice helps shape the future of our region.
