Skagit County, Washington, USA: Skagit County has invited applications from residents of Commissioner District 1 to fill a vacancy on its Parks and Recreation Advisory Board, which plays an important role in shaping the county’s parks, recreation facilities and community services.

The nine-member advisory board, with three representatives from each Commissioner District, works alongside the Parks, Recreation, Fair & Facilities Department and advises the Board of County Commissioners on proposed projects, policies and fees. Members generally meet once a month through online Microsoft Teams meetings.

One of the board’s key responsibilities will be to help update the Skagit County Comprehensive Parks and Recreation Plan, which is due by April 2028. The six-year plan will identify potential park developments and improvements, including fairgrounds facilities, assess funding requirements and establish priorities to meet the recreational needs of county residents.

The vacant position is open to eligible residents of District 1. Board members serve three-year terms, and the selected applicant will serve a term of three years from the date of appointment.

Applications are available through the Skagit County Boards and Committees website. Priority will be given to applications received by Friday, December 4, 2026, at 4:30 p.m.

For further information, applicants may contact Ken Hansen, Director of Parks, Recreation, Fair & Facilities, at khansen@skagitcountywa.gov. (Illustrative Image)
