Meet Tosha Edwards
A Voice for Lake Stevens
Tosha is a proud fifth-generation Washingtonian, born and raised in Yakima. Her early life was shaped by her family’s military ties, living in Dugway, Utah, and Camp Pendleton, California, while her stepfather served in the U.S. Marine Corps. Eventually, she settled in Everett, where she attended Everett Community College and built a career in retail sales management. Life came full circle when she reunited with her middle school sweetheart in 2007— calling Lake City home and raising two children together.
In 2012, driven by a desire to make a deeper impact, Tosha left her retail job and returned to school. With two young children underfoot, and later a newborn, she earned her Associate’s at Shoreline Community College in 2013, then powered through to complete a Bachelor’s in Social Science with a Political Science focus from the University of Washington in 2014. Her resilience and determination didn’t stop there.
Shortly after graduating, Tosha began working with a nonprofit, mentoring and providing case management for at-risk teens and young adults. This role ignited her passion for public service. In 2015, her family moved into their first home in Lake Stevens, where they’ve put down roots and raised three boys who are now students at EvCC and NLMS.
Outside of work, Tosha finds joy in the simple things—fishing, camping, hunting, and gardening. Her backyard is a haven of fresh produce and favorite flowers. Delivering a beautiful bouquet or delicious baked goods for friends and family is her love language.
After a decade in Lake Stevens, Tosha has seen the community grow and change. She’s seen firsthand how working families are often overlooked. She’s not one to stay silent and be a bystander. She’s ready to speak up, ask the tough questions, and be a strong, compassionate voice for her neighbors and for the future of Lake Stevens.
