Tim Reynon, director of the Governor's Office of Indian Affairs, resigned effective June 12, 2026, to join the Tribal Council of the Puyallup Tribe of Indians.

Governor Bob Ferguson announced Reynon's resignation on June 12, 2026, noting Reynon was elected to the Puyallup Tribal Council. The resignation follows Reynon's election to the tribal governing body.

Reynon's departure creates a vacancy in the Governor's Office of Indian Affairs, which serves as the state's primary liaison with Washington's 29 federally recognized tribes. The office coordinates tribal-state relations on issues including treaty rights, natural resources, and economic development.
