Story

Executive Constantine issued the following statement on the passing of Bill Gates Sr.: 

"Bill Gates Sr. was a champion for our region, and for the things that make this corner of the world so special. He was towering, both figuratively and literally, and leaves behind a legacy of philanthropy, advocacy for higher education and progressive tax reform that can serve as inspiration for our entire region. My thoughts are with the Gates family, and the countless people across King County his life touched."
