I remember waking up on the morning of Sept. 11, 2011 being late for work. I didn’t turn on the TV because I didn’t have time. I let our dog out, got ready for work, and bolted out the door. At the time, I was the sports editor at the Whidbey News-Times in Oak Harbor, Wash. Tuesdays were deadline day at the paper and being late meant putting everything into a time crunch.

It is no secret that Deb Eddy (D-Kirkland) has been an agent for change.
