King County's delegation to the Sound Transit Board is set to look quite a bit different in 2026, with four new boardmem
boardmembersBig changes are coming very soon to the composition of the eighteen-member board of the Central Puget Sound Regional Transit Authority, better known as Sound Transit.
Today, King County Executive Girmay Zahilay announced his nominees for six of the ten seats that King County controls on the multi-county federated board, which governs the agency responsible for building out the region’s high capacity transit system.
Zahilay is renominating two current boardmembers — Redmond Mayor Angela Birney and King County Councilmember Pete von Reichbauer — while opting against renominating just-reelected Auburn Mayor Nancy Backus for another term.
Additionally, Zahilay has nominated King County Councilmembers Teresa Mosqueda and Steffanie Fain to take his and De’Sean Quinn’s former spots on the board, while incoming Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson will take current Mayor Bruce Harrell’s spot.
