The City is recognized throughout the state as the best example of how to preserve the past in concert with preparing for the change inherent in the future. As the vision evolves, the Arlington brand, or identity, becomes recognized for it’s unique ability to set the City apart as a model of civility and community harmony.
The City of Arlington is a non-charter Code City operating under RCW 35A, which utilizes a Mayor-Council form of government. Seven council members act as policy makers, providing the mayor, the city's separately-elected chief executive officer, with guidelines and performance objectives. The city administrator and city staff turn these goals into programs and services.
All council members are elected citywide and represent all citizens. The council as a whole studies Finance and Government Operations, and divides itself into seven committees for closer study of issues: Airport & Transportation, Finance & Administration, Community Development, Economic Development, Parks & Recreation, Public Safety, Public Utilities and Public Works & Streets.
City council members do not keep offices at City Hall. They can collectively be reached via e-mail or by clicking on the individual members for more contact options.
