Rep. Farrell’s Biography

Elected in 2012, Representative Jessyn Farrell represents the citizens of the 46th district, which includes Kenmore, Lake Forest Park, and parts of North Seattle.

Previously, Jessyn worked as the Executive Director of Transportation Choices Coalition, an organization dedicated to expanding bus, rail, bicycle and pedestrian transportation options. Her biggest accomplishment – bringing together transit and road advocates in support of transportation initiatives that secured billions in transit funding – is also her top priority in Olympia. An attorney by trade, Jessyn focuses on mediation and most recently worked on youth civic engagement with Seattle City Club.

Jessyn grew up in the Seattle’s Lake City neighborhood and Lake Forest Park, attending local public schools and the University of Washington. As a mother of two young children, she is passionate about Washington’s education system and will advocate strongly for fully funding our kids’ education system, from early learning through higher education.

As a legislator, Jessyn will serve on the Environment Committee, Early Learning and Human Services Committee, and Transportation Committee.
