Arlington is a great town because of Mayor Tolbert

We have lived most of our lives in Arlington and we love this town!

Sure, it has grown, but what area in Washington hasn’t grown? Through it all, Arlington retains the small town feel, with a vibrant downtown area and very few empty storefronts. People live, work, shop and dine here. The numerous celebration, holidays, parades put on by the city are well attended.

This is very well run town with city services, fire and police department all working together to make this a lovely and safe place to live.

All of this not in spite of Mayor Barb Tolbert’s leadership, but because of it.

In her 12 years as mayor she has helped us through the Oso slide and the pandemic.

We don’t need to be another Leavenworth, we just need to be Arlington. Thank you, Barb Tolbert for your leadership. We miss you already.
