PARKER

    Del Parker will LISTEN, CARE, and HELP citizens with issues concerning their local neighborhood.

    Del has been a pioneer on Mercer Island, standing alone for neighborhood interests, when doing so was unpopular.

    Del brings useful experience in local government: summer lifeguard Parks and Recreation, degree in environmental engineering, hands on experience designing and building sewage treatment plants, public water sewer facilities, engineering Miami monorail, reviewing financing and engineering of public facilities for the state. Island business owner.
