MEET KIP!
Kip, a Walla Walla native and a graduate of Wa-Hi's Class of 1973, holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Civil Engineering from Washington State University and an MBA from Seattle University.
Kip began his connection to the Port in the mid-1990s as a founding member of the organization's Air Travel Coalition. Over time, his interest in playing a more direct role with the Port grew as he became increasingly familiar with its mission and its impact on County residents. This passion ultimately led to his successful campaign for the District One seat in 2019.
