Despite all the work that went into the weekly blogs, based on the feedback I have received by you and your co-workers, it has been well worth the effort!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Every year we produce a Year in Review video to take a look back at the major accomplishments of the last 12 months. I always marvel at how much has been done during that time to serve our residents and the challenge of shooting what makes it into the annual video and what doesn\u2019t due to time constraints.&nbsp; To wrap up my two terms, we created a video that recaps 8 years. As you can imagine, this was 8x the challenge of determining what is included and what ended up on the cutting room floor.&nbsp; Please take a look and let me know what you think. I hope you will take pride and a sense of satisfaction as you recall what we achieved together. I know I do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\"  id=\"_ytid_15976\"  width=\"640\" height=\"360\"  data-origwidth=\"640\" data-origheight=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/W02QFcVshcw?enablejsapi=1&#038;autoplay=0&#038;cc_load_policy=0&#038;cc_lang_pref=&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;loop=1&#038;playlist=W02QFcVshcw&#038;modestbranding=0&#038;rel=0&#038;fs=1&#038;playsinline=0&#038;autohide=2&#038;theme=dark&#038;color=red&#038;controls=0&#038;\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__  epyt-is-override  no-lazyload\" title=\"YouTube player\"  allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen data-no-lazy=\"1\" data-skipgform_ajax_framebjll=\"\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>My thanks to everyone who helped produce the blog\u2013 Libby Catalinich and Kyle Schmidtke in the Communications department, as well as Lillian Scott and guest bloggers from the Executive team and beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s been the honor of my lifetime to serve with you as the County Executive &#8211; including connecting weekly via this blog!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As always, thanks for reading,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"79\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.piercecountywa.gov\/executive\/files\/2022\/02\/Bruce-blue-signature-small-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3352\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Bruce<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nearly 420 blogs later, it\u2019s time to put down the pen and end my weekly messages to you.
