Lynnwood City Council Vice President Dr. Julieta Altamirano Crosby, in her continued commitment to building a secure, reliable, accessible, and affordable public power utility in Snohomish County, is asking for your vote to be your next District 2 Commissioner of the Snohomish County Public Utility District (PUD).

​

Snohomish County with its strong economy, multibillion dollar  Aerospace industry, many family-owned businesses, and quality neighborhoods rely on Snohomish PUD’s continued commitment to providing safe and affordable clean energy. As the energy grid comes under increasing demand due to climate change and population growth, we must also invest into protecting against the threat of both cyber and substation attacks. 

​

Lynnwood City Councilwoman Dr. Altamirano Crosby is the former Chair of the Board of Health for the Snohomish County Health Department. She is a member of the Volunteers of America Steering Committee for the Lynnwood Neighborhood Center that is located on the grounds of Trinity Lutheran Church that will provide behavioral health, childcare, and medical services to the community.

​

During the last five years as council member, Lynnwood Council Vice President Dr. Altamirano Crosby secured $2.5 million towards Lynnwood Public Works for citywide residential street improvements, $400,000 for the Lynnwood Food Bank, and $60,000 towards tutoring students. 

​

She supported ARPA Funds being allocated to the Lynnwood Neighborhood Center, Edmonds School District’s School Based Clinicians,  Lynnwood Police Community Health and Safety Flex Fund, Evergreen Recovery Centers for the hiring of two nurses, Scriber Lake Boardwalk project, Clothes for Kids, Access Project providing intervention for at-risk youth, and Hero’s Café for local veterans.

​

In addition to organizing and hosting three Let’s Talk About Safety forums, she supported body cameras for the Lynnwood Police, a fully-funded police department, and voted to ban public outdoor use of control substances and counterfeit drugs.

​

In 2021, Councilwoman Altamirano Crosby led the effort for a resolution recognizing Cinco de Mayo in both the City of Lynnwood and Snohomish County. In continuing her pledge for a welcoming and inclusive Lynnwood, she is the Sister City liaison, organized Lynnwood’s “Peace for Ukraine Vigil,” and assisted Refugee & Immigrant Services Northwest in relocating Afghan refugees.

​

In a cultural partnership with Lynnwood’s Sister City, Mexican dance legend Concepción Bello Nava (Conchita) taught then led three local dance troupes with traditional Mexican folk dances that performed at Cedar Valley Gym to a family-friendly crowd of hundreds, thanks to the efforts of Vice President Altamirano Crosby.

​

During the pandemic, Dr. Altamirano Crosby led several campaigns providing COVID tests and vaccinations to residents.

“The strength of our county resides in its people, its businesses, and its infrastructure,” says Councilwoman Altamirano Crosby.

As an immigrant working together with underrepresented and underserved members of our community, she is uniquely qualified to ensure their needs will be addressed and their voices represented equitably.

​
