Give council your feedback

Shoreline City Council has selected six applicants to interview for Council Position #6 - and the Council is seeking public input.

On January 7, the City Council selected six applicants to interview for the recently vacated City Council Position #6.

Fifty-three Shoreline residents submitted applications for the open position.

 
The six applicants selected to move forward for interviews are:

• Genevieve Arredondo - Echo Lake Neighborhood
• David Chen - Echo Lake Neighborhood
• Jennifer Greenlee - Ridgecrest Neighborhood
• Eben Pobee - Hillwood Neighborhood
• Rebeca Rivera - Ridgecrest Neighborhood
• Betsy Robertson - Ridgecrest Neighborhood

How can you help? Councilmember Chris Roberts attended Tuesday night's Board of Directors meeting for the Ridgecrest Neighborhood. He told us the City Council is welcoming comments to help them in their selection of who will be our next councilperson. He said all comments are welcome. 

Please comment before the January 28th selection meeting by sending an email to: council@shorelinewa.gov 

Council will interview each of the applicants at their January 28 Council meeting. After the interviews, Council will deliberate and then make their final appointment decision. Following Council’s appointment, the applicant will immediately be sworn into office. The appointment will run from January 28, 2019 and expire upon the certification of the 2019 general election results in November 2019, as the position will subsequently be filled in the 2019 election cycle.
