The city of Snoqualmie has chosen Andrea Lehner as its new city administrator.

Lehner is expected to begin July 6. She currently serves as the deputy city administrator for the city of Issaquah and has 12 years of local government experience.

According to a Snoqualmie news release, “city administrator serves as the chief administrative officer under the general direction and authority of the mayor, responsible for the city’s day-to-day operations and the coordination of work among all departments and programs.”
