State Park Tragedy Doesn't Stop Eastside Democrats

One of the 5th District Democrats most successful fundraiser was the Summer Picnic, this year the 5th planned a bigger, bolder picnic, teaming up with other neighboring legislative districts. The plans were ready to roll, but a terrible shooting in Lake Sammamish closed the park and threatened to cancel the picnic. However swift action by the planning committee and a generous act by 41sth district State House member Marcie Maxwell of donating her house and yard allowed the picnic to take place. The picture was taken there of my wife and I talking to some partiers on Marcie's dock.
