Rachel (Qian) Yu

Rachel moved to Mercer Island with her family in 2013 and has lived in this lovely community since then with her husband Jack, and two kids who are currently in high school. Rachel was born and raised in China and went to Seattle University for her MBA degree focusing on e-commerce and finance. She fell in love with the city immediately and decided this was a perfect place to settle down and have a family.

Rachel has been actively involved and volunteering in schools, especially interested in supporting and helping immigrant students and families in the community. Currently she serves as Treasurer on Mercer Island PTA Council, and Treasurer on MIHS Boys SWIVE Booster Club. Rachel is also the founder of the first BSA Girls' Troop of Scouting on Mercer Island and has served as Scoutmaster for three years. In addition, she has held numerous PTA and PTSA positions in Mercer Island schools and volunteered in classrooms, programs, and school or club sport teams.

Rachel loves outdoor lifestyle and enjoys hiking, backpacking, skiing and reading in her spare time.
