History

The county council was created on November 6, 1979 by Snohomish County voters as part of a home rule charter, which replaced the traditional three-member county commission with a five-member council and county executive.[3][4] The first two new councilmembers was elected on March 11, 1980, joining the three existing commissioners who would continue to serve until 1983, when all seats were up for re-election.[5][6]

In 2016, the county's Charter Review Commission explored expanding the council to seven members after the next redistricting.[7] The expansion, along with requirements to hold some meetings outside of Everett and include evening meetings for public hearings, were rejected by the commission.[8]

Structure

The council consists of five members representing five geographic districts of equal population. Each member serves a four-year term during a regular election held during November on odd-numbered years. No member can serve more than three total terms.[9][10]

Districts

  • District 1: Arlington, Darrington, Granite Falls, Marysville, Stanwood
  • District 2: Everett, Mukilteo, Tulalip Indian Reservation
  • District 3: Edmonds, Lynnwood (partial), Woodway
  • District 4: Bothell (partial), Brier, Lynnwood (partial), Mill Creek, Mountlake Terrace
  • District 5: Index, Lake Stevens, Monroe, Snohomish, Sultan

Districts are redrawn every ten years by an independent Districting Committee using United States Census data.[11]
