Kathryn Quade Poulsbo Mayor

Dear Friends ~

Welcome to my campaign website!  I hope you will visit here often to learn more about me and my campaign – and become involved.

It has been my honor to serve as your Mayor since 2006.  I’ve been working hard to keep Poulsbo livable and to balance our small town sense of community with ongoing growth.

Prior to being elected Mayor with the overwhelming support of our residents, I served on the City Council for 6 ½ years and on every council committee as well as on the Board of Directors of the Association of Washington Cities and Municipal Research Services Center. As Mayor I currently serve as Chair of Kitsap Regional Coordinating Council and on the boards of Cen Com, Department of Emergency Management, Kitsap County Consolidated Housing Authority, Kitsap Transit, and Kitsap County Board of Health,

I am proud of what we have accomplished so far.  You can learn more about these accomplishments on this website but some of the highlights:

  • Securing funding for the Marine Science Center programs
    putting Poulsbo on a solid financial footing
  • Completing the Highway 305 improvement project
  • Welcoming Harrison Oncology to Poulsbo
  • Coordinating on Vetter Homestead, Washington States’ largest self-help housing project
  • Hosting the yearlong celebration of Poulsbo’s centennial and our successful street dance
  • Attaining my Advanced Municipal Leadership certification through ongoing education credits through AWC
  • Poulsbo is the first city in Kitsap to adopt the Low Impact Development manual which will support sustainable, green development to attract new residents and businesses.

 

My top priorities for the next four years include completion of the New City Hall, securing ongoing funding for Marine Science Center and establishing our vision for a strong economy in Poulsbo.

I have lived in Poulsbo with my family since 1975. I remain committed to balancing Poulsbo’s small town sense of community with ongoing growth, progressive leadership, living wage jobs, and business opportunities. Together we will continue to explore new ideas, working to ensure Poulsbo’s future. I’m asking for your vote.

Sincerely~

 

Kathryn Quade
