Job: Local Government City Emergency Manager

This is for the city of Issaquah, Wash.

This looks like a great position for someone aspiring to lead their own program: emergency manager for the city of Issaquah, Wash.

This position reports to the city manager. For many years it existed in the Public Works Department, so this could be a new switch. The salary is decent.

All you folks living out in Iowa who are waiting for the local director to retire might consider moving instead. FYI, housing prices are an issue here in the region.
