Outside of his civic duties, Jordal is a devoted family man who enjoys outdoor activities like running and skiing. Residents can join him for a run at 7:30am most Saturday mornings at HP Middle School’s basketball courts.

“Thanks to everyone in the community for your input,” said Council President Jordal. “Please keep engaging the Council and we’ll do our best to keep listening.”

A graduate of the University of Washington with both a BA in Drama and Communications and an MBA, Moon was selected to be commencement speaker by his professors and peers. He lives in Mukilteo with his wife and two young sons and enjoys fishing, kayaking, and hiking in the Pacific Northwest.

“I am deeply humbled and honored to serve as the Council Vice-President for the City of Mukilteo. As a second-generation Korean American, I stand alongside our President, who is also an immigrant, to support our Council and lead our city. This appointment is a testament to Mukilteo’s unwavering commitment to diversity and the hard work and sacrifices of our immigrant community,” said Council Vice-President Moon. “Through my networks with the National League of Cities as the VP of the APAMO constituency group, PSRC’s Economic Development Board, AWC’s DEIB Cabinet, and Snohomish County’s Regional Law and Justice Council, I will bring valuable knowledge and experience to our leadership. Together, we will strive to represent the Council and city leadership, promoting a brighter future for Mukilteo.”
