Stanwood Mayor Sid Roberts selected as Community Transit Board chair

Stanwood Mayor Sid Roberts was selected by his peers to serve as chair of the Community Transit Board of Directors for 2025, a one-year term. He joined the Community Transit Board in October 2020. He served as an alternate from 2012 through 2015. Roberts began serving as mayor of Stanwood in November 2021; previously he served on both the Stanwood City Council and Lynnwood City Council.

“I’m grateful to have the opportunity to lead the Community Transit Board of Directors during this time of great growth in Snohomish County,” said Community Transit Board Chair and Stanwood Mayor Sid Roberts. “We are at a critical juncture as the agency meets that growth with more and better travel for people in the county. And I look forward to serving with the staff who make something that is really hard, look easy.”

Lynnwood Mayor Christine Frizzell was selected as board vice chair and Lake Stevens City Council Member Kim Daughtry was selected as secretary.

Snohomish County Council Member Megan Dunn joins the board after holding an alternate seat since 2023.

The non-voting labor representative is selected by Community Transit bargaining units; this selection process is underway.
