Lynnwood demographics
Below is Councilwoman Escamilla’s comment during the March 19 meeting in
its entirety as to why she did not vote for Leutwyler:
“Good evening, fellow council members and community. Tonight, I will not
be voting for the appointment of the remaining candidate for the open
city council position. This decision is not a reflection of the
individual seeking appointment, but rather a deep disappointment in the
process and lack of representation that truly reflects our diverse
community.
“Our city is made up of people from all backgrounds, estimated at:
50% white (with over half female)
19% Asian
14% Hispanic or Latino
8% black or African American
11.3% with 2 or more races
5.7% other races
less than 1% Native American, Pacific Islander or native Hawaiian.
“Based on these demographics, it is crucial that our governing bodies
reflect that diversity so that all voices are heard. This is not about diversity for diversity’s sake or any specific initiative. It is about ensuring that every community within our city has a seat at the table
and the opportunity to contribute to the decisions that impact them.
