 Just a thought - 6/8/2007

I recently am moving to Shelton from Olympia. I fell in love with Shelton and its small town feel. Now that I am making Shelton my home I can't help but think about making it a better place to live. It seems like a depressed town. Not progressing like it should and I ponder why. I just take drives the the town and on the outskirts all the time and think about the things we could change as a community and make better, cleaner, a better quality of life. Shelton has good bones it just needs a little love. I have lived in Olympia since 1997 and I watched it grow so big so fast, all the country is now all city. I think Shelton can be what Olympia used to be. I look forward to registering to vote and to do what I can to make our quality of life better. Together as a community we can make it happen.
