Cheryl Chow has been a private person living a public life for 66 years.

As the only daughter of restaurateur and Metropolitan King County Council Member Ruby Chow, she followed her mother into politics and civic life as a leader not just in the Chinese community but in Seattle.

She built a career as an educator, Seattle City Councilmember and Seattle School Board member that earned her renown for her toughness and passion for kids. But it came with "a lot of pressure," she recalls. "Lots and lots of pressure."

Now Chow has central nervous-system lymphoma. And cancer has a way of making secrets less important.

So at the 60th anniversary celebration of the Seattle Chinese Community Girls Drill Team last month, Chow came out as a lesbian.
