Meghan Sullivan’s Tumwater roots run deep. A proud graduate of Tumwater High School, she earned a Bachelor of Science in Community Health Education from Western Washington University and went on to complete a Master of Public Administration in nonprofit leadership and public policy at The Evergreen State College. Since 2011, Meghan and her family have called Tumwater home—and she quickly stepped up to serve, joining the Carlyon North Neighborhood Association board just months after moving in.

Since 2013, Meghan has been a leader at TOGETHER!, serving in both Executive Director and Deputy Director roles. Under her guidance, the nonprofit has expanded its reach across Thurston County and beyond—tackling critical community challenges and empowering residents. In 2016, former Mayor Pete Kmet invited her to join the Tumwater Planning Commission; Meghan’s thoughtful approach and collaborative spirit earned her four years as Vice Chair and one year as Chair. Today, she continues that commitment as a board member of the Community Action Council of Lewis, Mason & Thurston Counties.

Unanimously endorsed by the current Tumwater City Council, Meghan is running for Position 5 because she believes the best solutions come when we work together. She’s ready to bring creativity, curiosity, and courage to the Council—listening deeply, collaborating with integrity, and ensuring Tumwater remains safe, affordable, and accessible for everyone.
