"I dream of a Rainier Beach where kids can walk to the park at night and feel safe. Where we know every neighbor's name."
"I want a free recording studio in every neighborhood so young artists can make music without paying thousands they don't have."
"I dream of a King County where every youth who wants a job has one — and where that job pays enough to stay in Seattle."
