Klaus Joeschke,Seat #3

Hello Springdale!

My name is Klaus Joeschke and I have assumed the role and responsibilities of Town Council, Seat #3. I have no prior elected experience. What I offer to you and our community is patience, underst-anding, time and communication. You may have recently seen me assisting the Pet Day in the Park last June. I have volunteered time with the Trout-man Steering Committee, and the 2020 Frontier Days Parade/ Showcase in the Park. As the Seat 3 Council Member, I have volunteered to work in our town Planning Commission and Financial Committee.

With me also comes my amazing wife, Heather, who volunteers time to our town’s Troutman Steering Committee. My wife and I just celebrated our eleven-year wedding anniversary. We have three kids, ages four to eleven. We moved to Springdale in May of 2018 from the South King County area. We built our house out off Jepsen Road with the help of some awesome people. I earned 15 years in the U.S. Army Reserves as a Surgical Technician and enlisted soldier. I am regularly active and engaged in working for my Unit at Fairchild Airforce Base outside of my Reserves contract.

I believe we all want what’s best for our town. As town leaders, some of our duties include communicating policies and programs to residents, and to represent our community to other levels of Government. I hope to have the opportunity to get to know you and help our leaders keep a constant feel for the pulse of our town. I’m excited to be working with our new Mayor, Council and outstanding staff.

Harold Love, Seat #4

Klaus Joeschke,Seat #3

Harold Love is currently our longest seated council member having first been elected in 2008.

With his lovely wife of 58 years, Sheila, they have eight children, thirty two grandchildren and nineteen great grandchildren!

Harold's experience on the council is nicely balanced by his experience on the other side of the scale...he was Mayor of Sultan, Washington from 1979 to 1983. After serving as its guide for two years, he now serves as Vice Chair of the Troutman Estate Steering Committee. He's also on the Finance Committee. Thanks, Harold for all you do for Springdale and it's residents.
