The board will also consider updates to parking codes in relation to three legislative bills—HB 6015, SB 6617, and HB 2343—that have implications for housing construction. The meeting will take place at 6 p. m.

in the Brackett Room on the third floor of Edmonds City Hall, with remote participation options available via Zoom for broader community engagement. Residents are encouraged to participate in discussions that directly impact local housing strategies and urban development. By promoting transparency and accessibility, the Planning Board aims to foster community involvement in shaping the future of Edmonds.
