Semra Riddle named to Lake Forest Park City Council

Councilmember Semra Riddle

Semra Riddle, who currently serves as Vice Chair of the Planning Commission, was unanimously selected by the Lake Forest Park City Council to fill the vacancy on the Council left when Hilda Thompson resigned.

After a two-hour interview process involving four applicants, Semra Riddle, who was a key participant in the comprehensive plan update that was completed in 2015, was appointed to the City Council.

In comments made to support the nomination, the City Councilmembers focused on the need for balance and representation on the City Council that reflects a City that is becoming younger and more family-oriented.

In her application materials, Riddle noted, “Changes are coming to LFP and I want to help craft them in a way that treats our city with respect and offers great new opportunities for our community.”

Semra Riddle is an architect who works in medical facility planning and healthcare remodel design for the CollinsWoerman firm. She lives in Lake Forest Park with husband Ryan and a daughter.

The Oath of Office will be given at 6:00pm on Monday, June 20, 2016 in the Lake Forest Park City Council Chambers. The public is welcome.
