VOTING BY ABSENTEE BALLOT
As a long-time resident of Mount Rainier and a homeowner, it is important to me that municipal government be inclusive of all of its residents.
It is equally important that information be communicated through all possible channel so that residents can get involved.
It is also important for residents to volunteer and serve on committees, commissions, boards and task forces.
I truly believe that municipal government is the government closes to the people, and as such should be easily accessible.

William (Bill) Updike Appointed to City Council
Bill Updike will be sworn in on Tuesday to the Mount Rainier City Council. Councilman-elect Bill Updike has been an active member of the City since moving here six years ago.
Bill wants to use his community development experience to help market the city as a vibrant place to build and live. He says that his priorities will be focused on development and environmental issues.
Updike was selected by the Mayor and council at the special public meeting held on Tuesday, September 28. Two other candidates were interviewed for the position, Cheryl Fountain and Amy Callner. Both of these candidates were well qualified for the position, unfortunately there was only one seat available.
To keep the Citymoving forward, Bill Updike will be sworn in at the first public meeting of the Mayor and Council on Tuesday, October 5. Bill will remain on the council the remaining eight months of the late Councilmember Alta Morton's term. Mount Rainier will hold its regularly scheduled election the first Monday in May. At that time, three positions will be up for election. Two seats will be up for election in Ward 1, Councilmember-elect Bill Updike because the late Councilmember Morton had two years left on her term, and Councilmember Jimmy Tarlau whose four-year term expires. There will also be one seat up for election in Ward 2. Councilmember Bryan Knedler is currently filling that seat.
