At its meeting on Monday evening, January 7, 2019, the Shoreline City Council announced the names of six applicants who will be interviewed for the open seat.

The seat was vacated by Deputy Mayor Jesse Salomon, who was elected to the state senate.

The six - and their neighborhood of residence - are:

1. Genevieve Arredondo - Echo Lake
2. David Chen - Echo Lake
3. Jennifer Greenlee - Ridgecrest
4. Eben Pobee - Hillwood
5. Rebeca Rivera - Ridgecrest
6. Betsy Robertson - Ridgecrest

There were actually 53 applicants, not 49. It was discovered that a technology glitch had left off four applications. City staff tracked them down and their applications were sent in and considered on Monday.

Mayor Will Hall expressed his awe and appreciation at the number and quality of the applicants. He thanked them for their contributions and stated that he hoped they would remain involved.

The council will interview the six finalists on Monday, January 28, 2019.
