Dan Weedin 

For Mayor of Poulsbo

Meet Dan: A Lifetime of Leadership in Poulsbo

Since 1993, I’ve called Poulsbo home. My wife, Barb, and I built our lives and raised our children here, and now get to enjoy watching our grandchildren grow up in this incredible community.

My journey in Poulsbo has been one of service, leadership, and an unwavering commitment to the people who make this city special.

A Legacy of Service

My passion for serving this community isn’t new—it’s who I am. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of leading, coaching, and working alongside the people of Poulsbo in countless ways:

  • Coaching & Mentorship: From the basketball court to the golf course, I’ve been dedicated to coaching and mentoring young athletes at North Kitsap High School and in youth sports programs. Helping kids develop confidence, discipline, and teamwork is one of the most rewarding things I do.
  • School Board Leadership: I proudly served on the North Kitsap School Board, including as President, ensuring our schools provide the best education and opportunities for the next generation.
  • Poulsbo Rotary Member (Since 2002): As a proud Rotarian, I work alongside passionate community members to make a real impact through service projects and local initiatives.
  • Nonprofit & Community Work: I’ve been deeply involved in volunteering at the schools and working in nonprofit efforts over the years, focusing on youth development, education, business mentorship, and community leadership.

    Leadership for the Future

    As a risk management advisor and strategist, business leader, and entrepreneur, I’ve spent my career helping organizations navigate challenges and prepare for the unexpected. I bring that same mindset to my vision for Poulsbo—one that’s rooted in reimagination, innovation, and investing in our future.

    This city has always been special, but we can’t rely on the past to carry us forward. We need bold leadership that prioritizes smart growth, fosters economic vibrancy, and ensures that our kids and grandkids will have an even better Poulsbo than we have today.

    I’m running for mayor because I believe in this community and its potential. My experience, my passion for service, and my deep ties to Poulsbo uniquely position me to lead us forward.

    Let’s reimagine what’s possible—together.

    Walt Washington, Kitsap County Auditor 2008-2020

    I’m supporting Dan Weedin for Mayor of Poulsbo because he is exactly the kind of leader who will deliver and not just speak. 

    Dan is an exceptional communicator who listens, collaborates, and brings people together to find solutions. His leadership is built on relationships, trust, and deep commitment to our community. Dan is the best and right person to lead us into that future.

    Dan & Mary Ryan, Business Owners

    Dan is approachable and can listen open-mindedly while also assessing the situation for the good of the majority. He is prepared to take on tough conversations about the parking issues in downtown Poulsbo and other pressing matters.

    Jeff Weible, NK Football Coach

    Dan has a unique ability to build relationships, has outstanding communications skills and has the tools to lead Poulsbo into the future. I highly recommend Dan as our next mayor of Poulsbo and I know he will lead this community with outstanding morals, great passion and compassion. I hope you will join me in voting Dan Weedin as the next Mayor of Poulsbo!

    Abigail Smart, Student-Athlete

    I wholeheartedly support Dan Weedin and encourage you to do the same! He embodies the fresh leadership, vision, and dedication our city needs, making him the right choice to lead Poulsbo into a stronger, more connected future.

    Dell Bull, Retired Rear Admiral

    After 31 years of service in the United States Navy, I have had the pleasure of meeting thousands of men and women of service. I can confidently say that I have never met anyone that exemplifies servant leadership as well as Dan Weedin.

    What’s Important:

    Safe and Connected Neighborhoods

    Ensuring our city remains a safe, welcoming place for every resident and visitor.

    Strengthening Our Community

    Supporting local businesses and schools, enhancing public spaces, and fostering opportunities for all generations. This focus is especially important to me as the “next generation” of Poulsbo residents includes my four grandchildren who call Poulsbo home.

    Smart Growth for Our Future

    Balancing progress and preservation so Poulsbo thrives without losing its unique charm.

    This campaign is about us—the people who make Poulsbo special. I want to hear your ideas, concerns, and vision for our city.

    Together, we can build a stronger, brighter future for Poulsbo.

    I invite you to join me on this journey by sharing your thoughts, volunteering for the campaign, or simply spreading the word. 

    Let’s make Poulsbo even better—together.
