Girmay Zahilay running for Metropolitan King County Council #EthiopiansInSeattle


His parents left Ethiopia as refugees in the 1980s for Sudan, where Zahilay was born. They immigrated to South Seattle, his mom working double shifts as a nursing assistant. He attended college at Stanford, where he would major in biology and serve as president of the Black Student Union. After college, he interned at the Office of White House Counsel during the Obama administration. He continued his education at University of Pennsylvania Law School.
