Wednesday 10:18 am
LAKE STEVENS— The City announced a Council vacancy this morning and encouraged residents to consider filling the Lake Stevens City Council term won by Shawn Frederick. J425 should probably volunteer Mike Anderton for the role and have him live blog the goings- on. The Hall of Famer is a shoe-in should he apply.
That said, if you wanna apply, send a letter and anything else you think is helpful to Kelly Chelin by 5pm November 30.

- CITY RELEASE -
The Mayor is requesting letters of interest from individuals willing to serve on the City Council to fill an unexpired term of office held by City Council Member Shawn Frederick, whose resignation is effective December 16, 2022.
Individuals interested in serving must reside within the Lake Stevens city limits and be a registered voter.
Interviews will be conducted by the City Council on December 13, 2022, time to be determined based on the number of applicants.

The seven-member City Council serves as the legislative body of the City.
