About Jim Mayhew

I have lived in Snoqualmie since 2009 with my wife Ramsey and our two now-teenage sons. I am a graduate of the Snoqualmie Citizens Academy and served for several years as a Board Member and as Treasurer of the Sno-Valley Wildcats. I spent my career as the Chief Financial Officer for a multi-national Fortune 1000 company and as a partner with KPMG, an accounting and consulting firm. I served on the boards of numerous community organizations for 30 years, and for the last 10 of those Ramsey and I have contributed our professional and philanthropic support to non-profit organizations throughout the Snoqualmie Valley.

We moved to Snoqualmie for the stunning mountain scenery, beautiful rural valley, small town community, and to be close to family that discovered this treasure and settled here in 2001. We couldn’t have made a better choice of where to raise our kids. The values and caring shown by our neighbors produced the community we dreamed of and more. It has been a privilege to devote much of my time for the past two years as a Snoqualmie councilmember since my appointment in 2017 working to protect and improve this wonderful community.

I attended Roosevelt High School in Seattle and graduated from the University of Washington with a B.A. in Business Administration, Accounting Concentration. I am a Certified Public Accountant.

Issues

Community Facilities, Parks and Open Spaces

I led efforts to expand the Community Center with a pool, now planned for 2021, and played a key role in identifying responsible funding sources for this much-needed project without increasing taxes.

Working with State and local leaders, I fought to build a dedicated on-ramp from the Parkway to westbound I-90 by the end of 2019. This relieves congestion four years earlier than the planned completion of the Interchange improvements.
