I have practiced law for over 30 years with a primary focus on Construction Contracts, Defects/Defaults Bonding and Insurance. I have had previous experience serving on the City of Covington Washington's Economic Development Council and on the City's Parks and Recreation Commission. In my spare time, I volunteer for International Childrens' Network a world children's organization helping orphan and at-risk children obtain an education. I am married and have two children. As a family, we have spent years hiking, skiing, snowboarding and enjoying the outdoors.

Deborah Lazaldi

I am interested in serving on the MBR BOD  primarily because I live here with my newly acquired Husky dog Bowie.

I have had a place here since 2005 and finally full time this year.

I hike these beautiful  mountains,  including a summit of Mt. Baker, and call this my ski home. 

I volunteer for the Washington Trails Association building trails  and for the Foothills Community Food Bank.

In  my former life I was an Assistant Attorney General, a Washington Board of Industrial Insurance Appeals Judge and worked in private practice in my small firm  representing both injured workers and Self-Insured Washington Employers in Worker Compensation matters. I volunteered for the King County Bar Association free legal clinic.

 I now spend my time hiking with Bowie and other wonderful women friends in this community, reading, binging on various streaming services, cooking and entertaining visitors. And of course travelling the world!

 I must tell you and the members that  I want to pinch myself every single morning I wake up in this beautiful place. I walk around the Rim that is so beautiful and reflects the Baker vibe.  I feel lucky to be here and look forward to further serving  this special place.
