City of Moses Lake showcases at Chambers Business Expo and announces upcoming events

In the heart of Moses Lake, city officials gathered under the warm glow of the council chamber lights, ready to share updates and engage with the community. The recent Moses Lake Chamber Business Expo was a highlight, where city staff actively participated, distributing brochures and information about city services. The event was deemed a success, showcasing the city’s commitment to connecting with its residents.

As the meeting progressed, Doug, a council member, took the floor to announce an upcoming art show featuring Patricia Jensen's work, "A Road Less Traveled." The opening reception is set for Friday, March 14, from 4 to 7 PM, and the exhibit will run until May 2. This initiative not only promotes local artists but also enriches the cultural landscape of Moses Lake.

Doug also introduced an exciting project in honor of the upcoming semiquincentennial celebrations, marking 250 years since significant historical events. In April, two battery-operated lanterns will be displayed at the Larson Recreation Center and the local museum, symbolizing the famous midnight ride of Paul Revere and others. This initiative aims to engage the community in a nationwide celebration, encouraging residents to participate by displaying lanterns in their own windows. The project has already sparked interest from local preschools, indicating a growing enthusiasm for community involvement.

As the meeting continued, council members discussed future business, including a proposal for Representative Dent to address the council about water issues once the legislative session concludes. This reflects the council's proactive approach to addressing vital community concerns.

With a blend of cultural initiatives and civic engagement, the Moses Lake City Council is not only fostering a sense of community but also paving the way for meaningful discussions on pressing local issues. As the lanterns prepare to light up the night in April, the city looks forward to a month of reflection and celebration, inviting all residents to join in the festivities.
