The Lynnwood Council has re-elected Simmonds as council president and elected Councilman Ian Cotton as vice president. Simmonds is in his 16th year on the council, Cotton in his second.

In Mountlake Terrace’s council-manager form of government, Smith continues to preside over council meetings as mayor. Councilwoman Laura Sonmore continues as mayor pro-tem.

In Brier, the City Council chose Councilman Martin Krienke to continue as mayor pro-tem to preside over the council if Mayor Bob Colinas is absent.
