William A. LINTON
- Nonpartisan (UNOPPOSED)

My wife Sharon and I bought our
home in the Northtown area twenty years ago. My community interests
include the Bellevue Downtown YMCA Board, King County Bar Association Pro Bono
program, I-405
Citizens Review Committee, and serving on our church council. I do not support
changing Bellevue’s
charter. Bellevue is a great place to live and watch our children grow. There
is a sense of community here
that I believe should be maintained. You don’t have to look far to see
this. We have great parks, well run
utilities, responsive police and fire. Our current city government works well
for all of Bellevue. I believe now
is not the time to spend significant dollars on form over substance. I will
work on the commission to avoid
radical revisions to our city government that will only serve to divide our
community.
