Our state senator from here in Washington's 5th LD has died. I got the news from Facebook yesterday (Sunday,April 20th, 2025).
Bill Ramos was running the Issaquah trails at the time of his passing.
Pictured above is Bill with me in a picture that ran in the Issaquah Press. We were at a Democratic victory party. At the time, Bill was being elected to the Issaquah city council. He would later be elected to the state house of representatives. Last year, he became a senator.
Bill was soft-spoken and humble. He was easy to talk to. His wife, Sarah Perry would be elected to the King County Council.
I last spoke to Bill at a Maple Valley Town Hall, last summer. Maple Valley is considered a Republican stronghold, yet, Bill, a Democrat received a warm applause when Mayor Sean Kelly introduced him.
Bill Ramos was 69, he will really be missed.

Great picture of your friend having fun. You look like you are either worried about something or you need to use the bathroom in this picture.
I don't know what was up with me at the time. 10 years ago. I had no idea that this would appear in a newspaper.
