Acting Parks head named by mayor
Mayor Greg Nickels has announced the appointment of Christopher Williams, current Seattle Parks and Recreation acting deputy superintendent, as the interim superintendent.
Williams will serve as interim superintendent until the mayor's nominee, Timothy Gallagher, is confirmed by the city council.
Betty Jean "B.J." Brooks, who has been acting superintendent since February, announced her resignation.
Williams is a 14-year veteran of Seattle Parks and Recreation. He became interim-deputy superintendent in February after the retirement of Ken Bounds.
