Sutton resigns from Lynnwood council, 'effective immediately'
LYNNWOOD — Lynnwood City Council member Shirley Sutton announced her resignation Wednesday, effective immediately.
In her sudden resignation letter to council President George Hurst, Sutton expressed her “overwhelming desire to return home in beautiful Yakima Valley,” according to a press release Wednesday.
“I have enjoyed working with (the Council),” Sutton wrote in her letter. “I leave the council confident that the city is in your most capable hands.”
Sutton served on the council from 2016 to 2020, then was elected again in 2021. Before her time on the council, she worked for Burlington Northern Santa Fe and Edmonds College.
