The Lynnwood City Council is scheduled at its Jan. 20 meeting to interview the top 11 candidates for the Position 6 vacated by George Hurst when he took office as mayor Jan. 1.
The Council will interview the following candidates, in order:
- Jacob Berger
- Han McDonald
- Paula Ferreira-Smith
- Quinn Van Order
- Chelsea Wright
- Noel Baca
- Richard Wright
- Cathy Baylor
- Dorina Katro
- Abdullahi Abdullahi
- Brandon Molina
After the interviews, the council will vote and appoint a new councilmember Jan. 26. That person will then take oath of office that night or at the following meeting.
A total of 24 applicants applied for the position and were ranked individually by each councilmember. Per City code, the eight top-ranking candidates advanced to the interviews, but due to a calculation error 11 councilmembers are set to be interviewed.
A full agenda is available on the City’s website.
The meeting is scheduled for 6 p.m., Monday, Jan. 20 at Lynnwood City Hall: 19100 44th Ave. W. It will also be livestreamed on the city’s website and Zoom.
