Current Burien Mayor Sofia Aragon this week tossed her hat into the ring for a seat on the King County Council, according to a Public Disclosure Commission filing dated Feb. 3, 2023. Aragon appears to be seeking the open District 8 seat held by outgoing incumbent Joe McDermott. She will face off against Teresa Mosqueda and perhaps others (filing opens the week of May 15) in the primary election on Aug. 1, 2023, with the two top vote-getters moving on to the general election Nov. 7. Aragon has served in Position 6 on the Burien City Council since 2020, and was selected as the first woman of color Mayor for Burien in January, 2022.
