About the Board
This committee was established to review applications for funding from lodging taxes collected by the county, and make recommendations to the Council on those applications and related lodging tax issues. Per RCW 67.28 the Committee comprises 5 members: the chair shall be a County Councilmember, two members must represent lodging establishments, two members must represent agencies or activities eligible to receive lodging tax funding. In addition, Snohomish County Code 4.41 permits appointment of an ex officio (non-voting) representative to be drawn from a city in Snohomish County. Members are appointed at large by the Council. While there is no defined term of service, appointments are reviewed annually by Council.
As of 05/17/2019, there is one (1) opening on the committee for a Lodging Industry representative. If you qualify as a representative from a lodging establishment that collects lodging tax revenue and you are interested in serving on the committee, please apply online.
