Remembering Councilmember Reinke, a message from the Mayor:

We learned Tuesday morning that Councilmember Greg Reinke passed away unexpectedly at his home. This is a great loss for Sumner, and it's why our City's flags are currently at half-staff. In government, we talk about policies and plans and laws, but really, the heart of everything we do is people. And, Greg was one of the best. He was Sumner. He knew everybody and showed up for every meeting and gathering. He was social without the media, and we were all the better for it. As many of you know, Greg worked his career with Sumner Fire and then East Pierce Fire and Rescue after the merger. I think anyone experiencing an emergency would have to feel so much better just hearing his booming voice coming to help them. We can’t count all the incidents and people he helped through his career. Not content to sit back in retirement, he came onto the City Council. He learned municipal budgeting and land use issues. He represented us at the Association of Washington Cities meetings and on Pierce County Regional Council. And he always drove the antique Kenworth in parades, waving and running that siren.

All of that is great, but how I really knew Greg was the guy walking all around Sumner, saying hi to everyone, whether he knew them or not. I wonder for how many new residents, Greg was the first person they met in town. Please hold his family as well as his many friends and neighbors in your hearts. This is a great loss for Sumner in so many ways. And if this news leaves you feeling a bit down and not sure what to do, I have one suggestion: go to Rhubarb Days this weekend. Treat yourself to something to eat or drink. Chat with friends, neighbors and strangers. Let’s share Greg’s welcoming spirit in his memory and honor. I think that would make him laugh. So, I’ll be sure to see you downtown this weekend, because I know I would have seen Greg there.

-Mayor Carla Bowman

Rhubarb Days is right around the corner! This weekend, Saturday June 20th-21st.

Here are a few tips for Rhubarb Days:

1. It will affect traffic and parking throughout the city for the entire weekend. Please use the road closure map to minimize impacts as much as possible.

2. While all the vendor tents are fantastic additions to the festivities, remember to visit our existing businesses too! They’re geared up for Rhubarb Days as well.

3. It is supposed to be hot out, so please stay hydrated and take some breaks from the sun as needed.

Last night, we were honored to celebrate Chief Brad Moericke at a wonderful and well-attended retirement open house surrounded by former chiefs, current and former department employees, neighboring agency chiefs and administrators, family, friends, and community members. One of the evening’s most meaningful moments was listening to Brad’s final radio sign out of service which was a fitting tribute to his incredible career dedicated to public safety and service to our community.

After 25 years of service to the City of Sumner, the Sumner Police Department and our community, Chief Moericke is officially retired!

Chief Moericke’s leadership, commitment, and care for both our residents and our department have made a lasting impact that will certainly be felt for years to come. Throughout his career, Brad has led with integrity, professionalism, and a heart of service, always putting the well being of others above self.

Please join us in thanking Chief Moericke for his many years of service and wishing him all the best in this next chapter. Your leadership and dedication will truly be missed.

Congratulations on your retirement, Chief Moericke and thank you for everything you’ve done for Sumner!
