Challengers to Dunn seat aim to tip balance on Snohomish County Council

EVERETT — The Snohomish County Council often votes along party lines, and this election could flip which party comes out on top.

Currently, three of the five council members prefer the Democratic party and plenty of votes mirror that 3-2 split, but Position 2, held by Democrat Megan Dunn, is up for grabs this year.

Dunn, the only woman on the council, has two challengers: Georgia Fisher and Kristina A. Mitchell.

Georgia Fisher, 73, is a proud Republican. Fisher is coming out of retirement to challenge Dunn. She said she briefly considered running for Everett City Council, but wants to “have a bigger influence.”

Kristina Mitchell, 38, believes the County Council should be devoid of party politics, although she has a history of working on Republican campaigns.

District 2 is Everett, Mukilteo and Tulalip. Doubtful it will flip Republican
