Thanks for this article about Parker Harris for Senate.  I was impressed that he walked the district and collected signatures to get into the race.  I have dug into his background: an engineer, a teacher, and an entrepreneur who started an interesting side business in Seattle that directly benefited his neighbors.  I love the idea of an INDEPENDENT non-politician in Olympia helping the parties reach compromise that gets the state moving again.  I encourage everyone to check out his campaign at parkerforsenate.org  and get on board.  We need more people like Parker in government!
