Michelle Clark, '99: Will Head King County Flood Control District

On Monday, Michelle Clark received the unanimous support of the King County Council to lead the King County Flood Control District as the agency’s Executive Director.

“I want to thank all the Supervisors for their confidence in appointing me Executive Director,” said Clark. “The Flood District has a strong history of protecting the lives and property of county residents even as we wisely use the funds provided to the District. I look forward to collaborating with Supervisors on our important job of reducing the risk of flooding in rural and urban neighborhoods throughout King County.”

Clark has been a member of County Councilmember Larry Gossett’s staff, specializing in land use and transportation policy. She has also been the Councilmember’s lead staffer for the Flood District during the years Gossett was the Chair of the District’s Board of Supervisors.

“Michelle Clark has already proved to be a tremendous asset to the Flood Control District,” said Supervisor Reagan Dunn, Chair of the Flood District’s Board of Supervisors. “I look forward to seeing how her experience and expert knowledge gained while working for Councilmember Gossett will serve her in this new role as Executive Director.”
