Hamlin’s hard work would serve city well

We write this in support of Randy Hamlin who is running for Snohomish City Council, Position 5. We have both known Randy for more than 20 years and have always found him to be a good listener and a thoughtful, intelligent and hard-working person. We feel these attributes would help to make him an excellent councilman and we believe he will serve the city of Snohomish very well. We encourage you to vote for Randy in the upcoming general election.
