DescriptionKing County Executive Ron Sims appears ready to step down for more lucrative opportunities well before his term ends in January 2010.

Sims was mentioned in press reports as a finalist for Port of Seattle director (Tay Yo****ani got the job).

Sims's candidacy for Port director sounded fanciful. But I'm told Sims was actively lobbying for the job (The annual compensation is over $350,000, more than twice that of County Executive). Sources familiar with County Council backroom dealings report that several Councilmembers were already jockeying for the appointment to succeed Sims.
