West Seattle High graduate Sophia Sandvig will represent the community in a teen pageant Oct. 11 at the University of Washington.

If she wins Sandvig will get an all-expense paid trip to represent Seattle at the Cities of America National Competition in Orlando, Fla.

“As a born and raised West Seattleite, I am pleased to represent my beautiful and diverse community in this year’s Miss Teen Seattle Pageant," she said. "I graduated with honors from West Seattle High School where I participated in volleyball, soccer, swimming, tennis, debate club and the school’s newspaper. Since the third grade I have always played sports, admiring the fashion world from afar. As a result, I am very excited for the chance to trade in my cleats for high heels to perform on a different stage."
