Thanks to the 50 new and returning members of our City boards and commissions!
Our volunteer boards and commissions do important work — everything from the arts, economic development, environmental issues and growth to international diplomacy.
In a unanimous decision, the Issaquah City Council approved Mayor Fred Butler’s board and commission appointees April 18, 2016.
"I'm grateful for those that have stepped forward,” Councilmember Paul Winterstein said. "It's a very important part of the governance of this City. Those of you who are new to one of the boards or commissions, welcome. Those of you who are coming back, welcome. Thank you for your commitment."
