Meet the Salt House Council
The Salt House Council is made up of volunteer leaders at Salt House. Most positions are elected by the congregation and a few others are appointed. The council's role is to oversee the fiduciary and legal requirements of Salt House as a non-profit organization. The council also actively supports the staff and congregation in fulfilling our vision and mission.

Sara Urie (she/her)
President
I am honored to be starting my fourth and final consecutive year on council. I had never been in a leadership position like this, so I asked myself, "why are you here?" The answer is clear: God is at work at Salt House. I know it because I have experienced life here: love, joy, grief, growing pains, and reconciliation. So, I'm excited for whatever God has in store and blessed to be invited into that work.
James Colver (he/him)
Vice President
"I sometimes joke that God gave us all 2 ears and only one mouth, and I like to believe there was a reason for this. I intend to listen as much as possible while I serve as your council person, and I'm excited to see what God has in store for our community/"
Jim Myers (he/him)

"I feel most close to God during a meaningful conversation with a fellow human on this journey. I appreciate the trust you’ve shown me over a very short time and am looking forward to serving the Salt House community for years to come."
Irwin Dolobowsky (he/him)
Treasurer
"I want to see Salt House continue to grow and thrive to show how successful this model is and so I'm happy to keep supporting this community in any way I can. Thank you to the Salt House community for being a part of our family for so many years!"
Paul Brambilla (he/him)
Member at Large
Originally from Minnesota, our family moved to Kirkland just over 10 years ago for my job at Microsoft. When Salt House was just being formed, it immediately resonated with Alissa and I'm so happy to be here. I'm super excited to not only help grow Salt House, but also grow in my own faith.
Jim Anderson (he/him)
Member at Large
Anne and I have been members at Salt House since 2017. During that time it has been exciting and rewarding to witness and be a part of our growth. I have served on the Building and Grounds Team, both the S.A.G.E. and Men’s groups.I feel blessed to be given so many opportunities to serve Christ through activities at Salt House.
Annemarie Russell (she/her)
Secretary
Salt House has been an important place for me, my husband and our three children over the past seven years.
Whether we are worshiping with the larger SH community, serving our neighbors, building meaningful relationships, or participating in the life of this congregation, we are grateful to encounter God through the amazing humans who also call this their church home. In addition to being Council Secretary, I also serve Salt House as the Prayer Line coordinator.
