I’ve been getting asked what my ideas are for Duvall—and I do have them. Plenty. But here’s what I believe: the best ideas for our city don’t come from one person. They come from listening, asking good questions, and working together—with our community, City Council, and city staff. So instead of starting with a plan set in stone, I want to start with a conversation. One idea I’d love to explore with you is a year-round business incubator—a space where local makers, bakers, and creators can showcase their products throughout the year. Think of it like a farmers market, but open year round! As a Western Washington University alum, I was always inspired by the simplicity of the vendor’s row setup on campus. Duvall has an incredible number of home-based businesses, and this space could give them more opportunities to grow and connect with the community. This wouldn’t compete with our beloved farmers market; instead, it would complement it while keeping Duvall’s community vibrant and connected. What kinds of businesses or vendors would you love to see in a space like this?
