Redmond Council member Hank Margeson named Treasurer of Sound Cities Association

Redmond Councilmember Hank Margeson has been selected to serve as the 2019 Treasurer of the Sound Cities Association (SCA), which represents 38 King County cities and provides a regional voice for more than one million people. He will be one of five individuals to serve on the SCA Executive Committee.

“Councilmember Margeson will help SCA continue to be an important regional catalyst in addressing the challenges and opportunities that face King County communities,” said Deanna Dawson, SCA Executive Director. “He has a tremendous track record in creating innovative partnership and initiatives that create solutions to local and regional issues. We look forward to his leadership in the coming year.”

“Councilmember Margeson has a long history of leading on regional issues and I am pleased that he has been elected Treasurer of the SCA Board,” Councilmember Claudia Balducci, King County Council. “In my experience, he shows up, he pays attention, and he asks hard questions. All of which make him a great choice to help lead SCA. I look forward to working with him in his new role and wish him great success.”

Councilmember Margeson was elected to the Redmond’s City Council in November 2007 and is now serving his third term. He is the City’s representative at the Sound Cities Association Public Issues Committee (SCA PIC) since 2009.  During his tenure, he served a term as the Vice-Chair and chaired the SCA PIC Nominating Committee until 2015. In December 2017, he was reelected to represent the Northeastern King County cities on the SCA Board of Directors for another two years, where he’s served on the Finance Committee and Board Nominating Committee.

He is now on his eighth year on the Puget Sound Regional Committee’s Growth Management Planning Board, serving Board’s Vice President. He was appointed as a member of the King County Regional Transit Committee in 2018 after serving two years as an alternate.

Councilmember Margeson also serves as President for the Northwest Baseball Umpires Association board and is a former president of the Eastside Timebank board. Prior to election to City Council, he served on the Parks and Trails Commission and was the Vice-Chair for the Education Hill Citizens Advisory Committee.

Councilmember Margeson works for Liberty Mutual (Safeco) Insurance as a Senior Compliance Analyst and holds a bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice from Washington State University, and a master’s degree in Public Administration from the University of Oklahoma. He earned his Chartered Property and Casualty Underwriter designation from the Society of Chartered Property and Casualty Underwriters in 2003. 

SCA, which was formerly known as the Suburban Cities Association, was established 50 years ago to help King County cities of all sizes act locally and partner regionally to create vital and thriving communities through advocacy, education, leadership, mutual support and networking.
