Meanwhile, Position 4 Councilmember Lacy Stockton told the council the Aug. 19 meeting would be her last and resigned for the same reason Botello resigned.

East Wenatchee Mayor Jerrilea Crawford recommended the council leave the seat empty, as Ettore Castellente, who took over after Position 3 councilman Robb Tidd abruptly resigned from his seat in May, is running unopposed for Position 4. Tidd's term ends at the end of the year.

Upcoming Election Will Decide Remaining Vacancies

Paul Harrison and Nikki Darling are currently running for the Position 3 seat in this year's general election for a full, four-year term.
