Northwest WA Civic Circle to host discussions with RFA annexation cities March 12

The Northwest Civic Circle (NWCC) is organizing an online discussion scheduled for March 12, aimed at addressing the City of Edmonds' proposed annexation into the South County Fire Regional Fire Authority (RFA). This event is part of a series of discussions intended to prepare voters for the April 22 ballot measure. Since its establishment in 2017, the RFA has successfully integrated Mill Creek, Brier, and Mountlake Terrace, highlighting a trend toward regional cooperation in fire services. Alicia Crank, the NWCC founder, expressed the organization's commitment to providing a platform for community members to engage directly with city officials and understand the annexation process. Participants will include key figures such as city clerks and council members from the involved cities, adding credibility and depth to the discussion.

The event encourages residents to register and submit questions in advance, fostering an interactive dialogue. Additionally, the session will be recorded for accessibility, ensuring that all community members can benefit from the information shared. By facilitating this discussion, NWCC hopes to empower voters to make well-informed decisions regarding their local fire service governance.
