An excerpt:

The Snohomish County Council has picked longtime state Rep. John McCoy to be the state senator representing Everett, Tulalip and part of Marysville. It was a unanimous vote for the smart, well-liked McCoy, who had the most support among Democratic precinct committee officers in balloting against capable state Rep. Mike Sells and former legislative aide Kelly Wright, according to The Herald. McCoy will fill the vacancy created by the recent resignation of former Sen. Nick Harper. Snohomish County Council Chair Stephanie Wright said McCoy will be “a strong and effective advocate” for the county. He was the general manager of the Tulalip Tribes’ highly successful Quil Ceda Village retail and hotel development through its early years, winning the Puget Sound Business Journal’s Executive of the Year award in 2006.
