About Jae So
Growing up in Federal Way since elementary, I am deeply committed to the growth and well-being of our community. My journey has been shaped by a passion for service, collaboration, and creating opportunities for others.
With a background in law, accounting, real eastate, investing, and more, I have worked tirelessly to bring people together, solve challenges, and make meaningful progress. As a husband, father, city planner and business owner, I understand the hopes and concerns of Federal Way’s families and businesses.
I’m running for City Council because I believe in a future where our neighborhoods are safer, our local economy is stronger, and our city leadership is responsive, transparent, and truly representative of its people.
