He ran for election again in 2009 and has served his current term since January 1, 2010.
“Don is one of the most interesting people I have had the pleasure to get to know and work with in our community, said City of Sequim Mayor Ken Hays. “He is kind and thoughtful and always even tempered. He brings a wealth of professional experience to his service. His boundless passion and commitment to Sequim, especially for our parks, is rare and for us a real treasure. I will dearly miss his presence on the city council.”
“I have enjoyed working with councilor Hall a great deal, said City Manager Steve Burkett. “We appreciate Don’s years of commitment and hard work for the City. We will all miss working with him.”
