🔊 Listen · narrated by Aiden

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.
