Kirkland resident Zackary Whitson, a student at Lake Washington High School, served as a page last week in the Washington State House of Representatives.

Sponsored by state Rep. Roger Goodman (D-Kirkland), Zackary is the son of Sharon and Marshall Whitson of Kirkland. In addition to contributing to the efficient operation of the Legislature, pages spend two hours each day in a classroom setting learning about the legislative process. Zackary is vice president of his sophomore class and has his eye on the presidency of the United States.
