I don't think the state constitution specifies either way. It used to be an appointed position until 1996 when the voters made it an elected position. The council has voted to make it appointed again but it still has to be approved by the voters before it becomes law again.
Would the Washington state constitution allow them to do that?

Well hopefully the voters will vote that down. They'd be crazy not to.
