By Bruce Dammeier Pierce County Executive Apologies to Sally Field and her infamous Academy Award speech but it feels awesome when outside people or organizations recognize your work.
Dammeier celebrates outstanding leaders
By Bruce Dammeier Pierce County Executive I strongly believe in developing, promoting, and celebrating leadership. I attended the U.S. Naval Academy where leadership is foundational to every other subject or program. Our County Leadership Certification program is our effort to promote and develop a culture of leadership in Pierce County. I appreciate other organizations that value leadership, as well.
Paying a Sound Transit fare is fair
As Sound Transit Board members representing the north and south ends of the agency’s geography, we are very concerned about the future of light rail.

Reducing classroom size for students starts with building more classrooms
AT a time when the Legislature is debating the best way to pay for basic education in K-12 schools, it makes sense to start with the most basic element of all: classrooms. No matter what we do this legislative session, we’re going to need more of them. That means tackling an outdated school-construction model that has created inequity and inefficiencies across our state’s 295 school districts.
