Escamilla leading in Lynnwood, Position 3 race too close to call

Position 1

Incumbent Derica Escamilla and challenger Dio Boucsieguez seemed set to advance in the Position 1 race.

Escamilla took an early lead with 46% of the vote. Tuesday was Escamilla’s first election, as she was appointed to the City Council in July 2024. In a May interview with The Daily Herald, she said she wants to continue the positive change she’s made during her time on the council so far. She prioritized supporting law enforcement officers, improving infrastructure and advocating for transparency between the council and the public.

Position 3

Political newcomer Bryce Owings took an early lead in the Position 3 race Tuesday. Only one vote separated council Vice President Josh Binda and Tyler Hall from securing the second spot.

Owings, an instructor at Edmonds College and treasurer for the local carpenters union, secured 36% of the vote. His campaign focused on addressing homelessness and drug addiction by working with police, expanding temporary housing and working with trade unions to provide jobs. He also prioritized bringing higher-paying jobs to Lynnwood with an emphasis on local labor.
