Lisa Anne Herbold (born June 14, 1967) is an American politician. She served on the Seattle City Council representing the 1st District, which covers part of West Seattle.[1] She was first elected in 2015 after narrowly defeating Shannon Braddock, and was sworn into office on January 4, 2016.[2] [3] [4] She was reelected in November 2019.[5]
In October 2019, Herbold contacted Seattle's chief of police to report what she thought was an RV stolen and parked in front of her home as a prank in West Seattle, which belonged to a homeless couple. She was not seeking the removal of the RV. She subsequently acknowledged that she had violated the council's ethics code by contacting a department head directly and paid a $500 fine to the Seattle Ethics and Elections Commission. She stated that she believed the RV was stolen and had been parked in front of her home as a political stunt.[6]
In 2023, Herbold pushed for an amendment to Seattle's Comprehensive Plan that would impose "impact fees" on new housing.[7]
Herbold has a daughter, a granddaughter, a grandson, and two step-daughters.[8]
