Lake Stevens Mayor Brett Gailey announces resignation
EVERETT — At the end of the Tuesday Lake Stevens Council meeting, Mayor Brett Gailey announced his resignation, effective April 13.
It was a family decision, he said. They will be moving back to Idaho.
“My wife and I, over the last year, have spent many nights talking — lots of deliberation and prayers,” Gailey said. “We are going to relocate out of the state.”
It was not a light decision, he said, fighting back tears.
