Jim Nobles has a record of proven performance in delivering human services, working for environmental protection, and keeping his campaign promises to Seattle voters.
In 2005, Nobles was elected to the Seattle Monorail Project board on a platform to terminate an out-of-control project, eliminate the motor vehicle excise tax funding it, and close an agency that had failed to keep faith with Seattle voters. The monorail has been shut down, the tax has been repealed, and the SMP has closed its doors.
Nobles has nearly a decade of direct experience in delivering human services to the most vulnerable members of Seattle’s society. Since 1998, he has worked for a Downtown Seattle alcohol and drug recovery facility as an alcohol recovery facilities supervisor providing medical treatment to chronic public inebriates. Nobles chairs the King County Mental Health and Chemical Dependency Legislative Advocacy Committee and also serves on the King County Mental Health Board.
