Reid Olsen is seeking Position 5 on the Lake Forest Park City Council, bringing a vision for sustainable development and community safety. He expresses frustration with current leadership's resistance to change, particularly regarding housing laws and public transportation. To accommodate growth, he proposes denser housing in the Town Center while preserving its unique charm and local businesses. Olsen emphasizes the need for enhanced walkability and infrastructure improvements, particularly for cyclists, as safety remains a concern. He plans to relocate trees affected by development to maintain the area's green landscape.

His commitment to sustainable energy reflects a broader goal of shaping Lake Forest Park's future positively. The recent change in ownership of the Town Center presents an opportunity for these initiatives. Olsen's campaign seeks to balance growth and environmental stewardship.
