The Board

Megan Petersen found rollerblading at a pivotal moment in her life, using the sport as a path toward healing and community connection. Her passion for skating grew into a lifelong commitment to supporting and uplifting others, especially women in action sports. Megan co-founded The Bladies, a global community for female skaters, and has since partnered with leading skate brands to create skates specifically designed for women. With deep roots in the rollerblading world and a vision for inclusive spaces, Megan is now focused on helping communities—like ours—build skateparks where everyone can discover the joy, growth, and belonging that skating provides.

Jason Sawyer of Morton, Washington, is one of two principals at SML (Simple Modern Living), a creative studio that designs furniture, fabric and upholstered items, and household goods from local and sustainably-sourced materials. He holds a BA in Architecture from the University of Washington, and works with materials including wood, concrete, and metal. A builder and entrepreneur at heart, he supports all who strive for a well-designed and meaningful life that allows time for creativity, ingenuity, and civic engagement.

A lifelong Washingtonian, Sara loves being in east Lewis County, and her desire to foster an open and inclusive rural community is what led her to be part of MASA.
MASA’s ultimate dream is to build a skate park right here in Morton. This project is so much more than just a place to skate; it's about building community. A skate park will be a safe, accessible, and inclusive hub for youth and adults, offering a much-needed outlet for fun and a place for social gatherings. It's a concrete step towards making Sara’s vision for Morton a reality: a rural community where everyone can find their niche and feel like they belong.
