Former Lynnwood City Council VP resigns to become PUD commissioner

LYNNWOOD — Julieta Altamirano-Crosby has resigned from Lynnwood City Council, effective Monday.

Altamirano-Crosby was not present at Monday’s meeting and announced her resignation through a letter read by council member Patrick Decker.

On Nov. 5, Altamirano-Crosby was elected as a commissioner for the Snohomish County Public Utility District. On Tuesday, Altamirano-Crosby was sworn in as a PUD board member.

Her election as a PUD commissioner led to weeks of debate about whether Altamirano-Crosby could serve both positions concurrently, based on a city code that prohibits council members from holding other elected seats. Lynnwood City Attorney Lisa Marshall said in November that current state doctrine would allow her to serve on both bodies.
