Message from Deputy Mayor Patti Belle

"I am honored to continue serving the residents of Lakewood and grateful for the opportunity to help move our city forward. As a life-long South Sound resident, I deeply appreciate the qualities that make our community such a special place to live and work, while also recognizing the real challenges many neighbors face.

I am committed to listening, collaborating, and working closely with the Mayor, my fellow councilmembers, and our City Manager and staff to strengthen public services, support families and businesses, and improve quality of life for everyone who calls Lakewood home.

I also look forward to meeting residents out and about in our neighborhoods and encourage anyone to reach out—whether to share ideas, raise concerns, or simply connect over a cup of coffee."
