When you meet Melissa Robertson in her office, the first thing you notice—well, the first thing I notice—is the bobbleheads. I have a bunch of those in my office, too, but if they squared off, there would be a real Sparta-at-Thermopylae effect looking at my paltry band compared with the army on her shelf. Then your eyes shift to the rest of the collection: photos, team giveaways, a bat and ball leaning against a bookshelf. It would be impressive in its own display case—it’s doubly so in one woman’s office at the corner of Edgar and 1st.
Melissa Robertson attended Scripps College and then law school at the University of Washington.
