Norma has served since
January 2008
representing the 10th
district, which includes
all of Island County,
and parts of Skagit and
Snohomish Counties. She
has effectively worked
with her colleagues on
both sides of the aisle
to make significant
contributions to sound
public policy for all
Washingtonians and to
serve the people of the
10th District with
integrity.
Her professional and
life experiences provide
a solid foundation for
her commitment to
effective service. For
six years, Norma worked
as Special Assistant to
Congressman Jack Metcalf
covering a broad range
of issues and served as
legislative liaison for
military commands and
veterans organizations.
She later worked in the
private and non-profit
sectors providing
communications expertise
and operations
management. Her private
sector experience
informs her leadership
on economic development
policy and her efforts
to improve Washington’s
climate for employers
and employees. Norma is
active in her community
and church, having
served on the South
Whidbey School Board,
and mentoring young
adults.

Norma Smith is the
fourth of six children
born to Chapman and
Alice Creighton of
Pensacola, Florida. She
married Stephen Smith in
1971, the young Marine
pilot who captured her
heart and was the love
of her life for 34
years. Stephen
continued to serve in
the USMCR and spent more
than 20 years serving as
a Emergency Medical
Services pilot. Steve
and Norma moved to
Washington in 1978. In
1990, they built their
home on Whidbey Island
where they raised their
four children, sharing
their home and hearts
with many. On September
29, 2005, Norma’s
husband Steve and two
nurses (and friends)
died in the line of duty
during an EMS helicopter
flight. Steve was a
loving husband and
devoted dad whose life
touched many. His deep
and personal faith in
God encouraged and
inspired those who knew
him.
Norma’s family has grown
to include four terrific
in-law children, and
four precious
grandchildren. Her
family home is a focal
point for regular
gatherings of family and
friends and the
ever-evolving menagerie
of animals that has been
a constant in her
family’s life.
Today, Norma is honored
to serve the people of
Washington State’s 10th
Legislative District in
Olympia, and to work on
the critical issues
facing our communities
and state.
