Redmond, WA – Redmond Mayor John Marchione has announced the
appointment of Erika Vandenbrande as the interim Planning Director, due to
Karen Anderson’s resignation in late March.
Vandenbrande started with the City of Redmond in 2001
and currently serves as the Deputy City Administrator. She will continue operating
in both positions until a new Planning Director is hired. Vandenbrande has held
various management positions in her seventeen years with the city including
Transportation Demand Management Manager and Economic Development Manager. Before
joining the City of Redmond, Vandenbrande held planning roles at the US
Environmental Protection Agency and South Coast Air Quality Management
District. She was also a manager at Southern California Association of
Governments where she was responsible for developing the local government
portion of the regional Air Quality Management Plan.
“Erika’s
extensive knowledge and understanding of city planning projects in addition to
her passion for the Redmond community make her an ideal fit for the interim Planning
Director,” stated Mayor John Marchione. “We are in the process of conducting a
national search.”
Vandenbrande is a graduate of the University of Rochester
with a Master of Public Policy Analysis and a Bachelor degree in Geology.
