EDMONDS — City Council member Dave Orvis today announced his resignation, writing on his blog that he needs to spend more time with his family.
Orvis, 42, is a software engineer and staunch proponent of historic preservation who led an effort to keep casinos out of the city. He was first elected in 2000 and won re-election to a third term in 2007.
He said he would step down effective May 31, according to his blog.
Last month, a Snohomish County jury acquitted him following a trial on charges that he assaulted his son during a dispute over homework in 2009.
