Dr. Michelle Dotsch For Edmonds
City Council Pos. 4

Hello, and welcome! I’m Dr. Michelle Dotsch, an Edmonds native and retired family dentist. I’m running for Edmonds City Council because I care deeply about the future of this unique and beautiful place by the shores of Puget Sound that we call home.
My guiding objectives as a Councilmember will be ensuring safe, clean neighborhoods, especially around the Highway 99 Corridor; fiscal responsibility that respects people’s hard-earned dollars; responsible growth and development policies; and protection of our bountiful natural environment and small-town charm.
As your next Councilmember, I pledge to work collaboratively, continue to seek out and listen to all voices around local issues, and to work for a more responsive and candid government – one that allows access, scrutiny, and is answerable to the public. I am about good policy, not politics. I humbly ask for your vote to serve you.

About Me
Growing up in Edmonds, I knew I wanted to come back to live in this wonderful community after finishing my education. I graduated from the U.W. with a degree in dentistry and practiced with my father in his dental practice in Shoreline, just over the Edmonds’ city limits. I met my husband, Dr. Jay Hoag, in dental school and we practiced side-by-side for 25 years. We have lived for 23 years in the Five Corners area neighborhood of Edmonds.
