Pacific Mayor Leanne Guier has been elected to the board of directors of the Sound City Association (SCA), which represents 36 cities in King County.

It is Guier’s first term on the 13-member board.

“We are excited that Mayor Guier has been elected to the board and will serve as the representative to the South Valley Caucus,” said SCA Executive Director Deanna Dawson. “Her participation will help in our efforts to build long-term community and economic prosperity for our region and state.”

SCA provides a voice for King County cities through leadership in areas such as economic and community development, transportation, land use, health, government operations, the environment, education, public safety, social welfare and other public policy issues.

Guier, a Pacific resident for 17 years, began her term as mayor in July 2013 and was reelected in 2015. She was appointed to the City Council in 2009. Her regional involvement includes serving on the Growth Management Planning Council, King County Flood Control District Advisory Committee, and Metropolitan King County Regional Water Quality Committee. She also serves as political coordinator/business development specialist for the United Association of Plumbers and Pipefitters Local 32.

SCA, which was formerly known as the Suburban Cities Association, was established more than 40 years ago to help King County cities act locally and partner regionally to create vital and thriving communities through advocacy, education, leadership, mutual support and networking.
