Josh Binda, a candidate for Lynnwood City Council Position 3, has faced backlash from residents who question his trustworthiness. Sheri Cooley articulated her concerns, suggesting he fails to represent community interests adequately. Meanwhile, Sakha families gathered to celebrate an ancient summer festival in Lynnwood, bringing attention to their cultural heritage. Peter Meyerhof contributed insights from his research into a little-known ledger book, which may provide additional context to the celebration. Additionally, public comments are invited on the Everett Link light rail extension, a project aimed at improving local transit options.

This extension could significantly affect residents' access to transportation services. Community members have expressed the need for effective bus connections to the new Kaiser Permanente Medical Clinic, located near the Everett station. Addressing these local transit needs is essential for supporting both healthcare access and community engagement.
