To the Editor:
We would like to endorse Katherine Bryant Ingman for county council. During our 30-plus years owning the Lopez Island Pharmacy, we’ve been fortunate to know and work closely with many of the former council representatives from Lopez. Katherine has served in many island and county-wide positions. When management of our clinic transitioned from the University of Washington to Sea Mar, Katherine’s leadership was key in the transition. Her hands-on involvement on Lopez keeps her up to date on our community and San Juan County issues. She is easily approachable and always takes the time to stop and listen to our concerns. Katherine has earned our full support. She brings experience mixed with energy and a positive approach — just what we need!
