Skagit County Treasurer

As a lifelong resident of Skagit County, I would be honored to continue serving as your Skagit County Treasurer for another four years. For nearly 34 years, I have proudly served the citizens of Skagit County in a variety of roles, and I remain committed to providing responsible, efficient, and transparent public service. Since taking office in 2019, I have implemented several improvements within the Treasurer’s Office, including electronic excise filing, digitization of records, and cross-training staff to improve customer service and operational efficiency. I have also reduced banking costs and continue seeking innovative ways to streamline processes and better serve taxpayers. In addition, I currently serve as Legislative Chair for the Washington State Association of County Treasurers. In this role, I work closely with legislators and stakeholders to support practical policies that improve services for taxpayers and provide counties with better tools to assist delinquent property owners. I will continue to manage county resources with integrity, accountability, and fiscal responsibility while serving the taxpayers of Skagit County with dedication and professionalism. Thank you for your support.

In today’s fraud-rich environment, Skagit County taxpayers deserve responsible stewardship of public funds. Timothy Garrison brings private-sector accounting and tax experience, along with the financial discipline to review and challenge how public money is handled. His background across federal and state tax processes supports careful compliance, documentation, and accountability-core expectations of the Treasurer’s role. As a father of four, a college graduate, and a defender of the Constitution, Timothy will put Skagit County first and serve taxpayers with integrity. He supports constitutionally lawful, transparent operations and will not allow improper or unlawful transactions under his watch. As Treasurer, Timothy’s focus will be eliminating fraud and protecting every taxpayer dollar by thoroughly reviewing and scrutinizing transactions that come through the Treasurer’s Office. He will promote transparency, deliver exceptional customer service, and bring practical innovation to the way the office serves the community-making it easier for residents to understand and engage with Treasurer services. Timothy is running as a political outsider, motivated by results and service. He will bring a careful, professional approach to safeguarding public funds and strengthening public trust.
