New Agency Board Member

Congratulations to Shannon & Wilson’s Michael D. Harney: the State of Washington Board of Registration for Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors recently named Mike as its newest Board member. 

The Board is comprised of seven members and two pro-tem, who are a variety of experienced Professional Engineers and Professional Land Surveyors. Mike replaces Nirmala Gnanapargasam, PE, PhD, who retired from the Board in July 2023 after serving two five-year terms. 

“Mike’s background in both civil and geotechnical engineering is a great match for what we were looking for in a new Board member”, said Ken Fuller, PE, Director. “His experience will benefit our licensees, our agency, and the citizens of our state.” 

Mike has more than 20 years of experience and serves as a Vice President and the Office Manager of Shannon & Wilson’s Seattle headquarters. His experience lies in civil engineering and construction projects. His geotechnical knowledge includes dams and hydroelectric facilities, flood control and fish passage structures, navigation locks and infrastructure, levees, wastewater, stormwater and water supply facilities, road, railroad and light rail transit alignments and bridges, and highway and railroad embankments.
