    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.
