Mayor, city council refuse to sign Lake Stevens Pride proclamation
LAKE STEVENS — For the past two years, Mayor Brett Gailey signed a proclamation declaring June as Pride Month in Lake Stevens.
Not this year.
Gailey made it known that he is withholding his signature due to personal beliefs. That’s according to City Council member Anji Jorstad, who wrote the city’s first Pride proclamation in 2021.
The move surprised some and disappointed others.
