A special message from Mayor Thomas and a special honor for the City of Monroe:


2020… It’s been a trying year across our country and across the globe. And, while our Monroe community has not been immune to these challenging times, our community has met the challenge of the road put before us. And we, as a community, will continue to persevere – to support one another in times of need and to bring out the best in one another.
This week, the EvergreenHealth Monroe Foundation recognized the City of Monroe, WA with the 2020 Joseph Feek Award “for the tireless work … done this last year navigating this pandemic and helping those” in our Monroe community. I thank the EvergreenHealth Monroe Foundation for recognizing the City of Monroe with the 2020 Joseph Feek Award.
The recognition caused me to pause and give thanks for the talented and thoughtful people we have working for the City, for a supportive community of residents, businesses owners, and non-profit organizations, and for an engaged and caring City Council. It is a blessing to bear witness to the good that we have all done during these troubling times. From my heart to yours, thank you. #LoveMonroe
