Edmonds, WALocal News

Glenda Krull officially launched her campaign for Edmonds City Council, aiming to challenge incumbent Chris Eck for Position 1. Her kickoff event at Café Louvre attracted around 80 supporters, including notable local figures who endorsed her commitment to nonpartisan service. Krull, a 20-year resident, emphasized her involvement in the community through her roles in local organizations and her real estate career. She contrasted her approach with Eck's, asserting that he represents outside interests and PACs, while she aims to solely represent Edmonds residents. Krull stated that many residents feel unheard and unrepresented, and she pledged to foster an inclusive city government.

She expressed the importance of early public input in decision-making to avoid mistakes observed in past city issues. Her campaign centers on public safety, quality of life, and accountability. Krull's vision seeks to build bridges with the community rather than erect walls.
