Elizabeth Mitchell, Council Position 5

Term ends: December 31, 2023
Like almost everyone who lives here, I want to preserve Woodway’s character for future residents to enjoy as I have. The pressures of growth require us to participate in regional decision-making in order to preserve the Town’s character and understand the complex changes taking place in our County. Woodway was a sleepier sort of place when I first arrived, but I believe increased participation in County and State issues has been to the Town’s benefit.
As a Councilmember, I have represented the Town as a member of Snohomish County Cities, Snohomish County Tomorrow, the Snohomish County Policy Advisory Board, the Alliance for Housing Affordability, and as an alternate for the Puget Sound Regional Council Growth Management Board.
Apart from Town activities, I spend time with my family and my horse, am nearly retired from a small business, serve on the board of the Whitehorse Foundation, and am re-activating an interest in art-making through membership in the Seattle Artist League.
