Pete Rose, the current San Juan County administrator, applied to be Issaquah’s next city administrator, and though he made it to the final five, he doesn’t feel like he’ll be making a move to the Eastside any time soon. An article published by the Islands Sounder reports that Rose is not hopeful that he’ll be receiving an offer from the City of Issaquah, nor from Milwaukie, Ore., where he applied for their vacant city manager position.

Thought the interview process is over, the City of Issaquah has not made a formal announcement as to who will be the new city administrator.
