Constantine taps Tim Ceis for transition team
Posted by Keith Ervin
Seattle Deputy Mayor Tim Ceis will serve on King County executive-elect Dow Constantine's transition team, Constantine confirmed this afternoon.
Kurt Triplett, the appointed executive whom Constantine will succeed, said earlier that Ceis would be coordinating the team. Constantine said Ceis, who was once chief of staff to former County Executive Ron Sims, won't be chairing the transition team.
But Constantine said Ceis will help make staffing decisions for the new administration. "He's done several transitions before, as has Christian Sinderman," Constantine said.
Sinderman was a consultant in Constantine's successful campaign for executive. Constantine, chair of the County Council, defeated former TV news anchor Susan Hutchison Tuesday. He takes office after the election is certified on Nov. 24, less than three weeks from now.
