Letter to the editor Share your ideas on what Edmonds should be

Keep Edmonds Vibrant calls on residents to participate in "What Should Edmonds Be? ", a platform designed to generate new revenue sources amid a budget crisis. The city has already made over $7 million in cuts, threatening beloved parks and community services. The initiative seeks to foster community engagement and gather diverse ideas to envision a sustainable future for Edmonds. Residents are encouraged to submit their input by May 25th, with results to be shared publicly, including with the City Council and Mayor.

This outreach follows two successful visioning workshops that highlighted community interest in collaborative solutions. Elise Hill, representing Keep Edmonds Vibrant, emphasizes the necessity of identifying sustainable funding to ensure the city's vitality. The group's mission focuses on long-term financial resiliency and preserving what makes Edmonds unique. Engaging the community is vital for shaping a thriving city for future generations.
