KITTITAS — The mayor of Kittitas has resigned, citing the stress of budget shortfalls on his health.
Mayor Steve Arington told the Ellensburg Daily Record it was a fun and challenging job but he feared he was headed for a heart attack or stroke.
He was appointed mayor of the Kittitas County town of 1,100 in January and dealt with the problems of funding the police and fire departments.
The city council will appoint a new mayor.
