Chad,
Today I spoke before the Council regarding the name change for the West Seattle Bridge. Here is an excerpt:
“But perhaps what would be most important to Mrs. Williams is that a vast public structure is being named for a woman. No other such structures come to mind. And as she was a powerful champion for women’s rights in this town, it is this distinction that bears mention.”
The Council voted 9-0 in favor of “adding a second name” to the Bridge. This negates the need to change maps and many other articles. There is to be a “Jeanette Williams Memorial Bridge” sign at all on ramps.
I would like to thank the 46th formally. As we are in a political cycle I leave it to you to determine how to do this appropriately.
Best regards,
Rusty Williams
