Jennifer Gregerson
Mayor
Mukilteo, Washington
Jennifer Gregerson is serving her first term as mayor after having been a
member of the City Council since 2004. Gregerson, a graduate of Kamiak
High School, has a bachelor’s degree in French from New York University.
She has established an expertise in community planning, earning her
master’s degree in urban planning from the University of Washington.
Mayor Gregerson learned the values of hard work and responsibility
growing up in a family-owned business. Watching her parents fight to preserve trees and wetlands
in Harbour Pointe, she says, taught her the importance of getting involved, speaking out, and
defending your community. Gregerson is committed to Mukilteo and believes in service; she served
two years as Mukilteo Lighthouse Festival President and volunteers with the Mukilteo Farmers
Market. Today, she makes her home with her husband, Jeff, in Mukilteo, a few miles from where she
grew up. @MayorGregerson
