About Jim
Jim Mayhew was raised by a single mom in Western WA, and as a teen lived in foster care before graduating from Roosevelt High School. Paying his own way through college, Jim attended the University of Washington graduating with a degree in accounting before beginning a three decade career in corporate financial management that included stops in New York City, Singapore, and the Silicon Valley. Returning home to the Northwest to serve as CFO of a Fortune 1000 company, Jim and his wife Ramsey settled in Snoqualmie where he was appointed, and later won election, to the City Council. On the Council, Jim championed fiscal responsibility and worked on issues of affordability, public safety, regional transportation and results-oriented human services. They have two adult sons who are both attending college.
