Leigh Henderson, owner of Alexa's Café and Catering, has been an active member of the Bothell community for 20 years. She devotes much time and energy to a variety of local organizations and projects, though she admits to being "picky" when choosing which causes she wants to support.

"It's important to me that the organization is well run and that it has a strong sense of community," explains Henderson. "I especially look for those qualities."

 

The Northshore YMCA met the local woman's criteria and two years ago she volunteered to be on the organization's board of managers. Henderson had been a member of the Northshore YMCA for a number of years and really enjoyed the people she met through various fitness classes, such as Zumba, Body Shop and Boot Camp. In the process, she found other women to connect with and built a community of friends.

The City of Bothell is pleased to announce that a new Police Chief has been hired.  Chief Carol Cummings will start on January 24, 2011.  After 28 years in law enforcement, Chief Forrest Conover announced his retirement last June.  His last day with the City of Bothell will be January 31. 

 

Cummings comes to Bothell from the King County Sheriff's Office where she has served for the past 27 years, most recently as the Special Operations Division Chief. A graduate of Reed College, Cummings started her career in law enforcement with the Multnomah County Sheriff's Office in Oregon in 1981.  She then started work with the King County Sheriff's Office two years later and has been moving up through the ranks ever since.  Cummings was selected from among 40 applicants through a rigorous interview process that included a community open house and an extensive background investigation.
