Cornell spent 20 years with Snohomish County, first as a deputy prosecutor for 16 years, then as the county prosecutor for four years until his retirement in 2023. According to Hazel Miller Foundation news release announcing his appointment, Cornell is a strong advocate for common-sense gun safety and has a proven track record of implementing innovative solutions in the justice system.

“The Hazel Miller Foundation is a longtime pillar of our community. The obligation to nurture and grow the good works sprouted by the worthy organizations we support is a signal honor of my service to Edmonds and the region,” Cornell said of his appointment.
