"Hello Lake Forest Park residents! I'm excited to announce my candidacy for
City Council Position 2. I'm passionate about helping our community grow, and I believe there's no better way to contribute than by serving on the council."
CITY COUNCIL POSITION 2
FRED GRANT FOR LAKE FOREST PARK
It’s time for a new renaissance, one filled with beauty, creativity, fresh ideas, and long-term progress. Let’s bring back honor, civility, and a renewed sense of possibility.
My family’s roots in Washington run deep, my great-great-grandfather was part of the state’s first legislature and even served as the Ambassador to Bolivia. That legacy instilled in me a strong sense of civic duty, and I take great pride in the Grant family name. You can often find my wife, Victoria, and me running the Clan Grant tent at Highland Games across Washington, celebrating the heritage that has shaped us.
From an early age, I embraced leadership and community involvement: serving on student council, earning my Eagle Scout rank, and pursuing passions like documentary filmmaking and martial arts. That drive led me to become a Communications and Marketing professional, where I currently work at Sony Pictures Studios in their LATAM Operations.
Washington is my home, and I dedicate my free time to strengthening our communities: volunteering at farmer’s markets, supporting organizations like Gay For Good and Whole Washington, and serving as a delegate for the Democratic State Convention. Now, I’m eager to bring that experience, energy, and commitment to Lake Forest Park.
I’m running for city council because I believe in the power of local government to shape meaningful change. With my expertise in media, operations, and outreach, I will bring fresh ideas and real solutions to our city. I look forward to earning your trust and working alongside you to build a thriving, inclusive future for Lake Forest Park.
Safe and accessible sidewalks are essential. By expanding pedestrian pathways, we can encourage outdoor activity, improve community accessibility, and enhance safety for all residents, especially children and seniors.
A well-managed budget is the foundation of a thriving community. Lake Forest Park must prioritize fiscal responsibility, ensuring transparency, efficiency, and smart investments that serve residents today while securing a sustainable future. I am committed to making every dollar count for the
well-being of our city.
Public safety is a priority, and supporting our police force with the right resources, training, and community collaboration will help ensure a secure and respectful Lake Forest Park.
Proposition 1 in Lake Forest Park is a temporary levy lid lift that will appear on the November 4, 2025 general election ballot. I support this because unfortunately it is the only short term solution available at this time. This will help balance the budget and allow for the new elected members of the council and I to construct long-term solutions to avoid future shortfalls.
