Sally Clark is a Seattle City Councilor for the City of Seattle with 
extensive experience and knowledge in the government and non-profit 
sectors who began her career in journalism.
 
  Clark was a staffer for Seattle City Councilor Tina Podlodowksi, focusing 
on issues of neighborhood development and safety.  In 1999 Clark joined 
the City of Seattle's Department of Neighborhoods as Neighborhood 
Development Manager for Southeast Seattle.
 
  In 2002, Clark returned to the UW to earn a Master's Degree in Public 
Administration. She then was a legislative aide to King County 
Councilmember Bob Ferguson and Director of Community resources for the 
Lifelong AIDS Alliance. j
 
  Currently, Clark chairs the Planning, Land Use & Neighborhoods Committee, 
is vice-chair of the Transportation Committee and is a member of the 
Council's Labor Policy Committee.
 
Here's how Seattle Woman described her early career trajectory.
 
When asked how she chose public service, Clark laughs. "I think it chose 
me.  It's where I felt most comfortable and most well used." She came to 
Seattle from Portland as a teen 22 years ago to attend the University of 
Washington. Her degrees are in political science and Spanish, but she hung 
out at the UW's Daily newspaper, and worked as a print journalist after 
graduating, ending up in a yearlong stint as editor of Seattle Gay News. 
"I ended up moving more toward alternative journalism, and from there it 
isn't that huge a jump to go into nonprofit." In 1994, Clark began doing 
press releases and marketing work for Chicken Soup Brigade. She still 
serves as one of four executive directors of the Lifelong AIDS Alliance, 
which formed from the merger of Chicken Soup Brigade and Northwest AIDS 
Alliance.
