The Enumclaw City Council selected Kyle Diercks to fill the vacancy created by the Nov. 16 death of Councilman Kevin Mahelona.

The council narrowed the pool of eight candidates who applied down to three, Diercks, Julie Reece DeMarco and Mike Sando at the Jan. 21 meeting.

At the Monday (Jan 28) meeting the council interviewed the three and decided upon Diercks.

Diercks is an attorney and owns Mountain Aire Mercantile, 1444 Cole St.
