Meet Mpiima Mugambe

I am Mpiima Mugambe, and I am humbled to call Lynnwood home. My journey from Uganda to the United States in 2012 was driven by a quest for safety and new opportunities. Since then,  I have dedicated my life to empowering and advocating for maginalizad communities, leveraging my expertize as a mental health professional, community leader, or policy advocate to create positive change.

As a Mental Health Professional on the Crisis Team at DESC, I work directly with individuals facing homelessness, addiction, and mental health challenges. I founded Immigrant Guide to support immigrants and refugees navigating life in the U.S. As an instructor at the University of Washington School of Social Work, I train future social workers to lead with empathy and equity.

My advocacy has taken me from the streets of Lynnwood to the halls of Congress, where I’ve worked on securing funding for HIV/AIDS prevention, housing initiatives, and human rights protections.

Now, I am running for Lynnwood City Council because I believe in a city where every resident regardless of background can thrive. Together, we can build a stronger, more inclusive Lynnwood that works for everyone.

A Lynnwood for All

Lynnwood is more than a city—it’s a community. I’m running for City Council to ensure every resident, regardless of background or income, has access to affordable housing, strong local businesses, safe neighborhoods, and vibrant public spaces.

1

Affordable Housing & Homelessness

Housing should be within reach for all. I will advocate for zoning reforms, rent stabilization, and permanent supportive housing to combat homelessness and ensure Lynnwood remains livable for families, workers, and seniors.

2

Small Business & Economic Growth

Local businesses drive our economy. I’ll expand mentorship programs, grants, and flexible zoning to support women-, veteran-, and immigrant-owned businesses, making Lynnwood the best place to start and grow a business.

3

Public Safety & Community Policing

A safer Lynnwood starts with trust. I’ll invest in community policing, mental health crisis response, and strategies that address the root causes of crime while fostering transparency between law enforcement and residents.

4

Parks, Recreation & Sustainability

Green spaces unite us. I will modernize our parks with accessible trails, playgrounds, and gardens, prioritizing underserved neighborhoods while advancing sustainable infrastructure like rain gardens and bike-friendly paths.

5

Transit & Infrastructure

Reliable transportation strengthens communities. I support expanding transit options, walkable neighborhoods, and infrastructure improvements that connect residents to jobs, schools, and essential services safely and efficiently.

6

Immigrant & Community Inclusion

Every resident deserves a voice. I will champion policies that support immigrant communities, improve language access to city services, and strengthen civic engagement so everyone feels welcomed and empowered in Lynnwood.
