Abbott resigns Farmington council seat

Farmington Town Council Dec. 19 approved the resignation of Councilman Joel Abbott who cited the growth of his cabinetry business as the reason to bow out. He served on the council since April 2013.

The town now seeks letters from those interested in filling the seat. Letters may be dropped off at town hall or sent to Town of Farmington, P.O. Box 65, Farmington, Wash., 99128.

Mayor Dave Baker announced at the Dec. 19 meeting that a replacement for Abbott will be named by the March 2017 meeting.

Abbott also served as mayor pro-tem.
