Lisa Herbold

Lisa Anne Herbold (born June 14, 1967) is an American politician. She served on the Seattle City Council representing the 1st District, which covers part of West Seattle. She was first elected in 2015 after narrowly defeating Shannon Braddock, and was sworn into office on January 4, 2016. She was reelected in November 2019.

In October 2019, Herbold contacted Seattle's chief of police to report what she thought was an RV stolen and parked in front of her home as a prank in West Seattle, which belonged to a homeless couple. She was not seeking the removal of the RV. She subsequently acknowledged that she had violated the council's ethics code by contacting a department head directly and paid a $500 fine to the Seattle Ethics and Elections Commission. She stated that she believed the RV was stolen and had been parked in front of her home as a political stunt.

In 2023, Herbold pushed for an amendment to Seattle's Comprehensive Plan that would impose "impact fees" on new housing.

Personal life
Herbold has a daughter, a granddaughter, a grandson, and two step-daughters.
