Edmonds Architectural Design Board (ADB) Seeks New Members

Edmonds, WALocal News

The Edmonds Architectural Design Board (ADB) is seeking applications to fill two critical vacancies: one for an architect or building designer and one for a planner. This advisory board serves a vital role in shaping the city’s development landscape, providing guidance to the Mayor, City Council, and Planning Board on multi-family and commercial projects. Board members are expected to attend one evening meeting monthly, currently conducted via Zoom, with in-person meetings anticipated to resume at the Public Safety Complex. These volunteer positions require a commitment to community service, as members serve four-year terms and can be reappointed once. The city is particularly encouraging applications from women, people of color, and other underrepresented groups, reflecting a commitment to diversity and inclusion in governance.

Interested individuals can easily apply online or reach out for an application via email or by phone. The application deadline is set for February 25, 2022, at 4:30 pm, emphasizing the urgency for potential candidates. This initiative not only addresses immediate needs but also fosters community engagement and informed architectural decisions in Edmonds.
