Our guest speaker on Friday, January 9th was Ryanna Cook, the current Mrs. Washington. A Lake Stevens resident, an Ambassador to the Bridge Receiving Center and Creator Zone who has worked with an organization in Kenya since 2014. Mrs. Washington's rein ends in March. It took her promoters eight times to convince her to run. Last March she vied for the National Mrs. America title at the Westgate Hotel in Las Vegas, but didn't finish in the top 15. The sparkles of being Mrs. Washington has helped energize and open doors for her and the many organizations that she is involved with.
