Melody has been a resident in the Quilcene area for 20 twenty years and has owned and operated a business in the downtown area. She raised six children in this community which gave her great insight into the needs that a small community such as ours requires. Her business allowed her to become an integral part in the Quilcene community by employing hundreds of local residents and participating in many local organizations. She values the roots she has made here and looks forward to serving the Quilcene community as Fire Commissioner.
