My Vision for Lake Stevens
Priorites
Inclusive Community Leadership
Steve believes Lake Stevens' strength comes from its diverse community. He ensures all citizens, including the underrepresented, are considered in decision-making. Under Steve’s leadership as Lake Stevens Council President, Lake Stevens was finally able to construct a permanent food bank that meets our community’s needs. Steve is now focusing on getting a senior center built that meets our growing community's needs.
Infrastructure & Safety Improvements
As Lake Stevens grows, Steve is addressing traffic and walkability concerns. He works with County, State and Federal officials on Highways 2, 9 and 204 improvements and is committed to expanding sidewalks throughout the city for safer school routes and better community connectivity. During this last year as a result of the voter approved Transportation Betterment District, the city constructed over 3,200 feet of new sidewalks.
Parks & Recreation Development
Steve supported the development and upgrading of Cove Park, Lundeen Park, and Frontier Heights Park, with plans for further expansion at Eagle Ridge Park. He believes every citizen deserves access to safe, enjoyable spaces for recreation, ensuring all neighborhoods benefit from quality green spaces.
Local Business Support
Steve provided appropriate support to local businesses during difficult times of the Covid 19 pandemic and its recovery. He's committed to attracting more restaurants and businesses to Lake Stevens, reducing residents' need to travel while generating vital tax revenue beyond property taxes. Costco’s opening in Lake Stevens has been a great support to our local economy, a boost made possible through Steve and other city leaders who strongly support local businesses.
Public Safety Excellence
Steve is dedicated to maintaining Lake Stevens' status as one of Washington's and the country’s safest cities. He supports fully funding law enforcement and first responders to ensure excellent emergency response times and effective traffic enforcement, keeping our community secure.

Meet Steve Ewing
A proud Washington native, Steve has called Lake Stevens home since 2005, when he and his wife of 25 years Athena were drawn to the community's excellent schools and perfect balance of natural beauty and accessibility. For more than two decades, they've raised their five children here, all educated in Lake Stevens schools, deepening their commitment to this special community.
Steve brings valuable professional experience to his public service, having worked for the State of Washington since 2002 in roles including Mental Health Counselor, Community Corrections Officer, and Administrative Hearings Officer. This background has equipped him with unique insight into community needs and a service-oriented approach to leadership.
Community involvement has always been central to Steve's life. Before joining the City Council in 2019, he served on the Planning Commission and has been president of his 136-member Homeowners Association for more than a dozen years. His dedication extends to regular blood donation—he proudly displays his 8-gallon pin—and church leadership roles, including a two-year mission to Milan, Italy.
When not serving the community, Steve can be found tending to his beloved garden, especially his prized fig trees, or hiking the magnificent mountains surrounding Lake Stevens. His deep connection to our natural environment informs his vision for preserving what makes our community special while planning thoughtfully for the future.
