Mayor Korey Stites

Last week was one of those fun, fast-paced weeks that reminds me just how lucky I am to serve this community.

I had the chance to teach martial arts at three different elementary schools, and every time I do, I walk away inspired by the energy and enthusiasm of those kids. Personal Achievement Martial Arts also had a great time participating in Everett Middle School’s International Night, such a cool event that really celebrates the diversity and spirit of our community.

I also got to speak to what might be the sharpest civics class I’ve ever seen, seriously, the future is in good hands. On top of that, I recorded this month’s Mayor’s VLOG, observed the removal of the American Motel, and had the honor of cutting the ribbon at Primrose School at Clear Creek Crossing.

The Wheat Ridge Chamber of Commerce lunch was fantastic as usual. I had the honor of introducing City Manager Goff to give the "State of the City" address. Lots of great things happening.

And to top it all off, we celebrated the “terrible twos” of the incredible Clear Creek Makerspace, what an amazing space that continues to bring people together and spark creativity.

Busy weeks like this are the best kind. Thanks to everyone who makes this community so special!

We helped celebrate 5 years of the incredible work being done at the Porch Light, A Family Justice Center. While it’s unfortunate that services like theirs are needed, our community is truly fortunate to have such a compassionate and dedicated organization here.

Thank you to the staff and volunteers who work every day to support survivors and help change lives. Your impact in our community is immeasurable.

I showed up to Coffee With the Mayor this morning at Stylus & Crate and there was a line wrapped around the front of the building.
My first thought: “What did I say to make everyone mad at me?”
My second thought: “Wow… I’ve really made it.” 😅
Turns out, the line wasn’t for me, it’s there every weekend for the incredible pastries from Get Rights Bakery and the amazing coffee and atmosphere at Stylus & Crate. If you’ve been, you know exactly what I’m talking about.

We had a great discussion with dedicated residents who came out this morning. I’m always grateful for the chance to connect, listen, and talk about what’s happening in Wheat Ridge.

Huge thank you to Alex Rose from the Wheat Ridge Police Department for joining us and sharing some of the fantastic work WRPD is doing in our community.

Wheat Ridge shows up and I love that about us!
