The Issaquah Press is reporting that Issaquah’s economic development director is headed to Burien to replace former Burien economic development director Dick Loman.

Loman retired last month.

Dan Trimble departed Issaquah on Oct. 21.

Trimble started in Issaquah in July 2007. He had similar posts in California and Maryland before coming to Washington state.

Trimble told The Issaquah Press, "I think a great majority of the job of an economic development person is building relationships with people in the community and people in the business community, and being there as a good resource for them after you build the relationship."

“Projects come and go, but to me that’s the most important.”
