DescriptionReagan Dunn possesses impeccable Republican credentials, but the Bellevue lawyer's appointment to the King County Council yesterday has provoked uneasiness among several of his new GOP colleagues.

They're wondering which of them he intends to run against in the fall election.

Dunn, 33, resigned his job as an assistant U.S. attorney in Seattle last month to make himself available to be appointed to a council position that will cease to exist in less than 11 months. He won the appointment on a unanimous vote by the council.

However, with the council's reduction from 13 members to nine, which takes effect after the fall election, McKenna's old district will effectively disappear. Dunn's South Bellevue residence is just inside a newly created council district occupied by fellow Republican Councilman Steve Hammond of Enumclaw. Dunn lives just outside the new district of Councilwoman Jane Hague, R-Bellevue.

Dunn declined in an interview to say whether he will stay where he is and run against Hammond, move into Hague's district and run against her, or whether he will run at all this fall -- although few people expect him not to run after having resigned his job as a federal prosecutor to accept the council appointment.
