Shukri Olow, right, a Muslim woman who is running for King County Council District 5, speaks with Soleil Lewis, left, a candidate for Des Moines (Wash.) City Council Position 7, Friday, Aug. 13, 2021, during a picnic with the Highline Education Association at a Park in Burien, Wash., south of Seattle. Muslim Americans in their 20s and 30s who grew up amid the aftershocks of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks came of age in a world not necessarily attuned to their interests, their happiness and their well-being. Olow says the aftermath of the attacks has helped motivate her to become a community organizer and to run for office in Washington state. (AP Photo/Karen Ducey)
