The City of Wenatchee is seeking applicants for an upcoming vacancy on the City Council for the seat held by Keith Huffaker.

Huffaker confirmed with KPQ News he is stepping down from his council role and is reportedly moving out of the area soon.

City Administrator Laura Gloria says individuals who have resided in the city for at least one year and are registered voters are eligible to apply.  The appointee would fulfill the remainder of the term for Huffaker's  "At Large-B" position that expires in December of next year.
