Mayor Mike Rosen is pleased to announce Andy Rheaume as the City of Edmonds Director of Public Works. City Council confirmed his appointment October 14.
Rheaume brings with him over two decades of hands-on municipal experience and a strong track record of leadership and innovation in public service.
Rheaume will join Edmonds from the City of Anacortes, where he most recently served as Public Works Director. His leadership there included management of regional water and wastewater treatment plants, transportation and stormwater planning, engineering, solid waste services, fleet and facilities, and implementation of citywide infrastructure master plans, all within a framework of strategic collaboration, accountability, and environmental stewardship.
“I am excited to present Andy to the City Council as our new Public Works Director. With more than 20 years of experience in municipal operations, he brings a deep understanding of the work and the people who do it. From clean drinking water to safe streets and reliable infrastructure, Public Works touches nearly every part of daily life in Edmonds. Andy’s leadership style, strong commitment to customer service, and deep understanding of the people who keep our city running make him the right person to lead this essential department.” - Mayor Mike Rosen
Rheaume’s municipal career began more than 23 years ago as a maintenance technician. Since then, he has risen through the ranks, even spending eight years as both a Council Member and Mayor for the City of Bothell.
