Sabra Schneider, the one time 34th District Democratic candidate and Webmaster for King County has left that position to become Director of Electronic Communications for the City of Seattle.

To honor her service to King County, Dow Constantine issued a proclamation that reads:

PROCLAMATION

Whereas, Sabra Schneider has unselfishly served the public with her time and talents during her six years at King County; and

Whereas, her heart and her willingness to help others are as big as her native state of Texas, and yet she is a true Pacific Northwesterner; and

Whereas, she has won over the hearts of many with her deadpan, compassionate, and artful delivery of the complete truth; and

Whereas, she is a whiz at communicating complex ideas in fewer than 140 characters through the medium of Twitter; and

Whereas, she has engendered the trust and confidence of her colleagues with her competence and clarity.

Now, therefore, I, Dow Constantine, Executive of King County, do hereby proclaim September 22, 2011, to be

Sabra K. Schneider Day

in King County. I encourage all residents to join me in celebrating her contributions to the King County, cyberspace and the United States of America.

Dow Constantine
King County Executive

Schneider explained that a party was held at the Arctic Club downtown.

"Yesterday was my going away party with King County and Deputy Executive Fred Jarrett presented me with the proclamation," Schneider said.

She will start the new position on October 12 and under the direction of Bill Schrier, CTO a West Seattle resident too.

"I'll lead three incredible IT Teams including the Seattle Channel, the Webteam and Community Technology," she said.
