January 19, 2024
Melissa Hamilton spoke during public comment about safety. She encouraged neighbors to get to know their neighbors. She also celebrated the MLK Day event Monday at the Performing Arts and Event Center and said “I felt the love and the community spirit in that building.”
Hamilton was also thanked by the mayor for opening up her home for the Steel Lake block watch group meeting on Jan. 11.
She continued this neighborly community spirit in her public comment saying: “We live in a really great community. I grew up in a really tiny little town called Yelm. At times it feels like I’m back in a tiny town even though we’re a city over of over 100,000 people, so if we can continue to grow smaller as we grow bigger and not lose that connectivity with our neighbors and with our city leaders, I think we’ll be okay Federal Way!”
