Keep Edmonds Affordable, a grassroots organization, is campaigning against a proposed levy that they argue will lead to increased housing costs in Edmonds. The organization asserts that the levy threatens to worsen the existing affordability crisis, making it harder for families to maintain their homes. They are actively engaging with the community through meetings and informational sessions to raise awareness about the potential consequences of the measure. City officials are currently evaluating the proposal, which has led to a mix of support and opposition among residents. Advocates emphasize the importance of keeping housing prices stable to support local families during challenging economic times.

The group’s campaign aims not only to defeat the levy but also to foster a broader dialogue about housing affordability in the city. Community members are encouraged to participate in discussions and voice their concerns regarding the levy. The outcome of this debate could significantly impact the future housing landscape in Edmonds.
