The City of Edmonds seeks a builder or developer to join its Architectural Design Board (ADB) for a term running through 2029. Although the board's regular meetings are paused until 2027, it may convene as needed to advise city officials on planning and design-related issues. The ADB is responsible for developing design guidelines, studying land use, and establishing objectives for design districts as part of the Comprehensive Plan. Board members are appointed by the mayor and require confirmation from the city council, serving four-year terms with a two-term limit. Interested individuals can obtain an application by contacting the mayor's office or visiting the city website, with applications accepted until the position is filled.

The city is particularly seeking to diversify its board, encouraging women, people of color, and other minorities to apply. The ADB's role is vital for ensuring thoughtful and informed design in Edmonds, which can impact the community's aesthetic and functionality. Engaging a builder or developer could bring essential insights into the board's recommendations and decisions.
