Vashon council votes to seat Anne Thorne on the community council board
Summary
Anne Thorne was introduced as a new board candidate, described her background in developing defibrillators and long island residency, and was accepted by a show‑of‑hands vote to join the council.
Anne Thorne introduced herself as a long‑time island resident and retired professional who helped develop defibrillators in a previous career and said she wanted to give back to the community. After her remarks, the members took a show‑of‑hands vote to accept her self‑nomination; the chair invited her to join the board. Thorne told the council, “I'm looking forward to joining the board to serve and give back to this community.”
The council framed the vote as part of an ongoing board‑recruitment process ahead of formal elections in October; members will elect eight board seats and recruit additional members by mid‑October.
