Council selects Kurt Hilt to be new Lake Stevens mayor
LAKE STEVENS — The Lake Stevens City Council unanimously voted Wednesday to appoint Kurt Hilt as the city’s new mayor.
The decision came after a three-hour public meeting, during which Hilt and two other candidates had 30 minutes to answer eight questions for the council.
When asked how he felt about the appointment, Hilt responded, “Wow.”
“It is an honor,” he said. “The council, and the residents of Lake Stevens through the council, have put their confidence in me to lead. That’s a big deal, and so we’re going to come to work on day one and do right by the residents of Lake Stevens.”
