FEATURED HUSKIES FROM THE 22ND LEGISLATIVE DISTRICT
Justice Raquel Montoya-Lewis, an enrolled member of the Pueblo of Isleta and a descendant of the Laguna Indian Tribe, became the first Native American appointed to serve on the Washington Supreme Court in 2019. Montoya-Lewis previously served as a Superior Court Judge for Whatcom County. “Every day, there is something that makes me reflect that this is a historical appointment that is meaningful to other people."
"I have demonstrated exceptional leadership and commitment to the health and well-being of my community through spearheading many initiatives, such as a NARCAN distribution program at the UW Tacoma and developing a more inclusive training curriculum for my local crisis hotline. In leading these health initiatives and advocating for systemic changes at the state level, I've proven my ability to unite diverse groups and successfully advance public health initiatives. My Husky Experience reflects my passion for public health and my readiness to drive positive change in my community through the nonprofit and public sectors, embodying a leadership style that is proactive, compassionate and community focused."
SERVING THE 22ND LEGISLATIVE DISTRICT
The UW facilitates hundreds of programs in communities across the state. Below are a few that operate in your district. Programs active as of January 2023.
UW in the High School
Through the UW in the High School program, high school sophomores, juniors and seniors can complete University of Washington courses — and earn college credit — in their own classrooms with their own teachers. Teachers are approved and trained by UW faculty to teach official UW courses using UW curriculum, activities, texts, tests and grading scales. Participating students can earn college credits at a fraction of the cost, and these credits are accepted by most colleges and universities across Washington and around the country. Partner high schools can offer UW coursework in computer science, math, science, world languages, humanities and social sciences. Check out which schools UW in the High School is partnering with in your area.
UW INSPIRE
UW INSPIRE supports western Washington educators of pre-K through 12th grade with reciprocal research-practice partnerships, focusing on student thinking and giving educators the opportunity to learn alongside children, improving instruction and student achievement. Fueled by innovative local educators at all levels of the public-school system and supported by local philanthropists and individual donors, INSPIRE is coordinated by a team of faculty, staff and graduate students at the UW College of Education.
Pacific Northwest Seismic Network
The Pacific Northwest Seismic Network (PNSN), a partnership between the University of Oregon and the University of Washington, is dedicated to reducing impacts of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions in Washington and Oregon by providing accurate and timely information about earthquakes and ground motions to scientists, engineers, planners and the public. The second-largest seismic network in the United States, PNSN has more than 300 seismograph stations as well as several offices and personnel across the region.
