Meet Jim Ribail. Now, Jim's not your typical politician, He's actually the most reluctant one you'll ever come across. See, around 10 years ago, Jim started getting all worked up about what was happening in his city. So, what did he do? He started attending all these meetings, especially those city council ones. And let me tell you, he didn't just pop in once or twice - he was there for a solid two years, complaining and questioning everything. At some point, Jim thought to himself, "Hey, maybe it's time I back up my words with action." So, he decided to dive right in and get involved in the political game. Man, talk about putting your money where your mouth is, or maybe your foot where your mouth is - whatever works, right? Now Jim is the Mayor of Carnation. Here are some things you will learn in this episode. 1️⃣ Downtown Remodel: Jim Ribail's top priority for Carnation is a downtown remodel that includes wider sidewalks, new planting areas, and upgraded street lights. Phase 2 of the remodel, involving new sidewalks and an asphalt overlay on highway 203, is already underway. The town is investing in enhancing its infrastructure to make the downtown area more vibrant and welcoming for locals and visitors alike. 2️⃣ Economic Diversification: As the smallest city in the Snoqualmie Valley, Carnation's long-term goal is to diversify its economy. By attracting new businesses, such as incubator light industry businesses, the town aims to create opportunities for growth and prosperity. It's exciting to see their proactive efforts to bring in smaller businesses and provide a supportive environment for entrepreneurs. 3️⃣ Hidden Gems and Outdoor Recreation: The Snoqualmie Valley, including Carnation, offers a wide range of outdoor activities for adventure enthusiasts. From hiking and biking along the picturesque Snoqualmie Trail to exploring the local parks and engaging in sports like pickleball and skateboarding, there's something for everyone. Carnation's hidden gems can only be discovered by spending time in this charming town, making it a must-visit destination for nature lovers.
