City Council
Sequim's elected representatives
The City Council is the city's legislative body, and Councilors are the elected representatives of people living in Sequim. Sequim operates with a Council-Manager form of government. The Council's principal job is making policy. Councilors appoint a City Manager who is the chief executive officer and head of the administrative branch implementing policy. The Council elects a Mayor from among its membership, and the Mayor's primary duty is presiding over Council meetings.
Sequim's voters elect Councilors to four-year terms on a citywide basis and not from districts. The seven positions are non-partisan. City Council elections are held in odd-numbered years. Councilors serve staggered terms so that about half of the Council positions are on the ballot every two years. For more information on elections or how to register to vote visit Clallam County Elections.
