8/28/07, Martin "Marty" Snodgrass - long-time Planning Commission Chair retires


Martin "Marty" Snodgrass

This year celebrating 60-years young; a Redmond resident since 1976; married to Lori Snodgrass; father of two children [Erin and Jeff], step-father of two [Robert and Heather], and very proud grandfather of two [Eleanor and Calvin].

Graduate of the University of Puget Sound and the University of Washington School of Law.

Marty has been practicing law since 1976, and his practice currently emphasizes commercial litigation and bankruptcy on behalf of both debtors and creditors.

He has authored Collection Law and Enforcement of Judgments in Washington, as well as two chapters in Washington Law Deskbooks for Lawyers; and, has been selected by Washington Law & Politics Magazine as a Washington State "Super Lawyer".

Marty strongly believes in giving back to his community, volunteering many hours in various programs: sitting on the City's Conference Committee panel, providing legal advice at the Eastside Legal Assistance Program and the WSBA's Debt Clinic, and for over 8 years a member of Redmond's Planning Commission.

BOB YODER:

During my "Items from the Audiance" presentations to the commission on the Critical Areas Ordinance, I developed a deep admiration for Martin's expertise, finesse, smarts and engaging personality as he Chaired the Planning Commission. And oh boy, does he know how to run a city meeting! Marty's retirement creates a certain void on the commission that probably will never be filled.

Thank you, Marty, for caring and giving so much to our city community! You are a highly respected and appreciated citizen volunteer and will be noticably missed during chamber proceedings --- and always remembered for your work & dedication to the City of Redmond.
