Mayor of a small city with very little coverage outside of the immediate area, even in the larger newspapers of the same state. Only other notable position is county council, which isn't enough for WP:NPOL.  Sounder Bruce  22:32, 1 April 2021 (UTC)

 * Comment. Haven't dug in to make a determination but I note that Bellingham is not so small with a population of 92,000. We generally presume notability for mayors of cities with populations over 100,000. Cbl62 (talk) 22:36, 1 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep Mayor of the northernmost city with a population of more than 50,000 people in the contiguous United States is notable. KidAd  •  SPEAK  22:45, 1 April 2021 (UTC)
 *  Weak Delete I don't agree that the northernmost city with pop over 50k is enough to be notable, however- that, combined with the town not being that far under the 100k mark makes me pause. Technically I don't think he qualifies- but its close. Nightenbelle (talk) 00:09, 2 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete. It does not appear his legal career would qualify him nor would his mayoral service.--Mpen320 (talk) 23:33, 2 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete. Bellingham WA is not a large or significant enough city to extend its mayors an automatic presumption of notability in the absence of a properly demonstrated pass of WP:NPOL #2, cities don't get special exemptions from NPOL just because their population cracks 50K or because of their geographical locations per se, and this relies mainly on primary sources rather than any significant volume of reliable source coverage for the purposes of getting him past NPOL #2.

 * Delete. The cited references do not go in-depth enough to qualify per WP:POLITICIAN. --Greysonsarch (talk) 18:29, 5 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete the sources are not enough to show notability.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:55, 6 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete. I read the consensus is that mayors of cities of moderate size are not automatically notable, per WP:POLOUTCOMES. There's no standard policy for lawyers, but he would fail my own standards. Bearian (talk) 19:56, 7 April 2021 (UTC)
