Though it hasn’t been officially announced, it appears that Cassie Franklin will be seeking re-election in 2025 to continue being the mayor of Everett, WA.
Typically official announcements don’t come until around November, one year before the election, but with the recent announcements of Scott Murphy’s candidacy and Dr. Janice Greene’s candidacy, that likely lit a fire under the Mayor to start the early stages of her campaign.
The first indication was Cassie Franklin’s instagram account. Her handle recently changed from “@cassiefranklin2021” to “@cassiefranklin2025.”
Also, on her website, she’s updated her endorsement sections to say 2025 instead of 2021.
A look at political donations through the Public Disclosure Commission shows Franklin has been taking donations for a 2025 campaign since 2023, and has already raised over $34,000.
Mayor Cassie Franklin took office on Jan. 1, 2018, becoming the first elected female mayor of the City of Everett, Washington. She was re-elected in 2001 with 73% of the vote. Prior to becoming Everett’s mayor, she served on the Everett City Council and was the CEO of Cocoon House.
