Lynnwood appoints new council member after abrupt resignation
LYNNWOOD — The Lynnwood City Council appointed a new member Wednesday to fill a vacancy left by 2-term council member Shirley Sutton, who resigned suddenly in May.
The council voted 4-2 to select Derica Escamilla, 43, to fill the remainder of Sutton’s term, which will expire next year.
In the final vote, council members David Parshall and Nick Coelho voted for Lu Jiang, an attorney and finalist for the position.
Escamilla, an environmental scientist and former manager for civil engineering firm Terracon, said she has nearly two decades of experience working with building materials.
