For over 35 years, Peter has called King County home and built his career at Boeing, Nordstrom, Microsoft, and the University of Washington. His dedication to helping his community led him to run for SeaTac City Council, where he has served since 2015, earning re-election in 2019 and 2023. He proudly serves on regional committees and boards dedicated to building stronger communities in South King County. In August 2024, he co-founded the Korean American Institute to help unite and advance local communities.
