Sean Martin, CEO
Sean began serving as CEO for TPCAR in March of 2021 and enjoys meeting and talking with members about all aspects of the Association and learning how it can better serve the membership and fulfill its mission statement.
His prior experience includes many years in the housing industry, including previously as Government Affairs Director and Executive Director at the Rental Housing Association of Washington. As Executive Director with RHAWA he overhauled and modernized the suite of benefits offered to membership, implemented new association technology, and managed the creation of new membership business lines for non-traditional forms of rental housing ownership.
Sean is a University of Washington graduate (Political Science). Outside of work he enjoys spending time with his family, mowing with his John Deere rider, barbecuing low and slow on his grill, and keeping his car clean (having an office only 5 minutes from Griot's Garage helps!).
Karen Scott, Accounting Manager
Born and raised in Washington State, Karen Scott brings over a decade of accounting experience in addition to many years in customer service. While Karen is recognized for her financial understanding and attention to detail, Karen would say her most significant achievement is raising her two children, daughter Lacee, who holds an MBA from Whitworth University, and son Zane, an award-winning glass blowing graduate of Alfred University in New York.
Karen recently celebrated her 33rd anniversary with her husband, Jon Scott (not the agency), by doing one of her favorite pastimes: traveling. When Karen is not driving around in her convertible with Jon and her two dogs, she spends her time gardening, trying out new restaurants, and going to concerts. Make sure to drop a line to Karen and say hello!
