Opening doors at City Hall for Korean residents and business owners.

Jason brought Mayor Marine together with the Korean Association of Greater Seattle to talk about expanding Korean community participation in city government.

On May 15, 2025, Jason helped organize a meeting in Mukilteo between Mayor Joe Marine and leaders of the Korean Association of Greater Seattle, including President Won Joon Kim.

What was on the table

The conversation focused on helping Korean residents take part in city decisions, making sure Korean small business owners can access city support programs, and reducing language and cultural barriers.

Jason has also made a point of listening to Korean parents on education and family friendly policy.
