Madeline Patterson, a student at Sequim High School, served as a page last week in the Washington State House of Representatives.

Sponsored by state Rep. Kevin Van De Wege (D-Sequim), Patterson is the daughter of Danielle and Jake Patterson of Sequim. Pages perform a wide variety of responsibilities, from presenting the flags to distributing amendments on the House floor.

In addition to contributing to the efficient operation of the Legislature, pages receive daily civics instruction, draft their own bills and participate in mock committee hearings.

Patterson is a Civil Air Patrol Cadet. She enjoys reading, drawing and writing, and is active in multiple sports.
