The Yes! For Edmonds 2025 initiative is on the ballot for the October 25, 2025, election, aimed at funding key community projects in Edmonds. Supporters of the initiative assert it will improve local infrastructure, enhance public services, and promote economic growth. In opposition, the No Levy 1, Keep Edmonds Affordable group argues that the proposed funding could strain residents' finances, particularly amid rising living costs. They call for a focus on preserving affordable housing and ensuring economic stability for all residents.

This local debate is indicative of wider discussions about budget allocation and community priorities. City officials emphasize the importance of civic engagement in shaping Edmonds’ future. As the election date approaches, both sides are mobilizing support and raising awareness about their respective positions.
