Jill McKinnie, the director of Congressman Rick Larsen’s Northwest Washington offices, has been appointed as Snohomish County Ombudsman.
County Executive John Lovick selected McKinnie as one of two finalists for the ombudsman position and the County Council voted on March 30 to appoint McKinnie.
In a statement, Larsen commended McKinnie for her long record of public service.
“Jill has served the people of Northwest Washington with the highest level of skill, integrity and commitment for the last 32 years, including 14 years leading my offices in Everett and Bellingham. She has rightly earned the respect of community members and leaders throughout the region for her unwavering efforts to find solutions to local concerns and her dedication to serving the people of Snohomish County through good government.
“Jill’s appointment as ombudsman should come as no surprise because of her impeccable record as an advocate for the people of Northwest Washington.
“I am pleased the people of Snohomish County will continue to benefit from Jill’s dedication to public service. I will miss Jill and her steadfast commitment to making progress for the people of the Pacific Northwest,” Larsen said.
