Debora Juarez will serve in District 5 until the election in November of next year.

Debora Juarez first Native American to be selected to council

Juarez was first elected to represent the North Seattle district in 2015 and served as council president. She was the first Native American to be elected to the council. She thanked the other candidates after her appointment.

鈥淥ne last note, I want to share, which I’ve learned from my elders, is there isn’t one leader,鈥� she said. 鈥淚t’s like a flock of birds. Leadership is shared.鈥�

Cathy Moore resigned, citing health and personal reasons.

Earlier this month, the Seattle City Council narrowed its list of candidates for the vacant District 5 seat from 22 applicants to six finalists.

Among those selected were Debora Juarez, who previously represented District 5 on the City Council, and Nilu Jenks, who ran for the seat in 2023 and currently serves as political and partnerships director for FairVote Washington.

Also on the shortlist were James M. Bourey, executive director of the Seattle Architecture Foundation; Katy Haima, community planning manager for the city of Seattle; Julie Kang, director of professional and continuing education at Seattle University; and Robert Wilson, a Navy veteran who works for Amazon.
