The race for Edmonds City Council Position 2 has just become more crowded, as council candidate Will Chen says he has decided to seek that seat.
Chen announced his candidacy in January but at the time had not chosen which position to file for.
Chen who runs a CPA firm just off Edmonds’ Highway 99, will face Luke Distelhorst, who was appointed to fill out the remainder of Edmonds Mayor Mike Nelson’s Position 2 term and is running to retain the seat. Also running for the position is small businesses owner Janelle Cass.
Chen sais his decision to run for Position 2 is motivated by a desire and commitment to add diversity, passion and practical experience to the council at a time when communities and businesses across the nation are struggling to address social and systemic inequities, and are hurting financially from the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Alicia Crank
Edmonds Planning Board vice chair and community volunteer Alicia Crank will officially launch her campaign for Edmonds City Council Position 1 during an online event Monday, Feb. 8.
In announcing the event, Crank said she brings more than 20 years experience as a business and nonprofit leader, most currently as chief development officer for AtWork!.
Crank stressed that cross-community support is the foundation of her campaign, with a focus on fostering consensus across various groups across Edmonds.
“I am not seeking endorsements from any of the current Edmonds City Councilmembers,” she said. I believe in integrity, transparency, and conversations. We’ve seen too much ‘Us vs Them’ during council meetings, inadvertently or otherwise. I’m not running to choose a side. I am running to represent the community as a whole. We can have solid and thoughtful discussions which lead to transparent and honest decisions
