Elected officials to get 10% pay bump, or more, in Snohomish County
EVERETT — Starting next year, all of Snohomish County’s elected officials will see a bump in pay.
Approved by the county’s Citizens’ Salary Commission on Elected Officials last month, most elected officials in the county saw raises just below 10%. The one exception is the sheriff, who will see a pay raise of nearly 20%.
Sheriff Susanna Johnson’s annual salary will jump from $184,219 to $219,815.35 in 2025.
The commission meets every two years to adjust the salaries of elected officials. Decisions are based on the “scope, impact and responsibilities of the position, not the individual,” according to a letter from the commission.
