Monroe tries to serve Spanish-speaking residents - Washington

Hiller West, the city’s community development director, landed a job with the city seven years ago. West doesn’t believe that had anything to do with his Spanish skills.

But his language skills turned out to be an asset for the city. West, who was born in New York City and raised in Mexico, said he often helps people at the City Hall, answering their questions in Spanish.

As Monroe grows, city officials face the need to bridge a language gap to serve Spanish speakers.”*
