Katia Zakharof

Katia Zakharoff runs a small business and serves on Issaquah’s Planning Policy Commission, where she works directly on the issues that come with growth: permitting delays, traffic, and protecting trees. She wants to make city processes more efficient, expand housing options carefully, and plan ahead for light rail and other changes that are coming.

Her endorsements from the Eastside Business Alliance, local firefighters, and King County and 5th LD Democrats show she’s earning trust across business, public safety, and civic groups. Katia focuses on practical steps that keep Issaquah livable while it continues to grow.
