On September 18, 2025, our Chamber community gathered at The Restaurant at DeLille for a special Business Luncheon featuring the City of Woodinville, City Council Candidate Forum. The event provided an opportunity for local professionals, community members, and leaders to connect while hearing directly from candidates running for City Council this fall.
The forum featured candidates from four positions on the City Council ballot:
City of Woodinville, City Council Position 1
- Jeff Lyon
- Michelle Evans – attended
City of Woodinville, City Council Position 3
- Amber Wise – attended
- Rachel Best-Campbell
City of Woodinville, City Council Position 5
- Bobby Amiri
- Sarah Arndt – attended
City of Woodinville, City Council Position 7
- James Randolph – attended
- Jaren Hanson
Each participating candidate shared their perspectives on pressing issues facing Woodinville. The program included thoughtful, moderated questions by Jake Whittenberg of King 5 News that encouraged meaningful conversation on topics such as city growth, infrastructure, business development, and community engagement. Guests enjoyed a delicious lunch while networking with peers across industries, and many walked away with a deeper understanding of the candidates’ priorities and vision for the community.
This month, we had the honor of recognizing Wyatt Kindred of Woodinville High School as our September 2025 Student of the Month.
This event would not have been possible without the support of our sponsors.
