Rep. Suzan DelBene, who represents Washington’s 1st district in the U.S. Congress, recently used her social media platform to inform constituents about local transportation updates, community events, and opportunities for student engagement.
On March 7, DelBene alerted residents to upcoming road closures: “Attention: I-405 in Bothell will be closed this weekend & next weekend in both directions due to construction to remove ramps & improve driver safety.
Plan travel accordingly & keep updated on the latest information from @wsdot

On March 9, DelBene shared her participation in a local cultural event: “It was great to join Redmond’s Festival of Color & celebrate Holi! https://t.co/mVMzH81ka0”.
Later that day, she encouraged high school students to participate in a national art contest: “Calling all student artists! My office is now accepting artwork submissions from high school students for the 2026 Congressional Art Competition. This is a great way to be recognized for your creativity!
