Letter Snoqualmie Mayor Katherine Ross
Mayor Katherine Ross has transformed Snoqualmie's city workforce since her election in 2022, lowering staffing vacancies from nearly 30% to around 5%. She implemented competitive compensation and modernized operations, resulting in a 30% drop in overtime costs and 85% of employees expressing job satisfaction. The public safety sector has also benefited, with crime rates falling by 10% as new firefighters and expanded volunteer programs improved emergency response times. Ross asserts that Snoqualmie now retains its public safety services without relying on North Bend, saving taxpayers over $1 million annually. She emphasizes the necessity of recent personnel changes to enhance accountability within the police force.
Ross's administration has secured millions in external funding for community projects, reflecting strong regional partnerships. She plans to run for re-election to continue this momentum and further enhance the quality of life for Snoqualmie's families.
