Lynnwood Council to hold property tax levy hearing, vote on farmers market Nov. 10

Lynnwood City Council will vote on establishing a farmers market and conduct public hearings on key financial matters during its meeting on Nov. 10. If approved, a $5,000 deposit will be made to Sound Transit to secure the light rail station as the market's future location, aiming for a spring 2026 opening. The public hearings will review the mid-biennial budget, an annual certification of the 2026 property tax levy, amendments to the Comprehensive Plan, and a six-year transportation improvement plan. The council will also interview Linda Finkle for a position on the History and Heritage Board and consider miscellaneous code updates.

This meeting, scheduled for 6 p. m. at Lynnwood City Hall, will be livestreamed for broader community participation. The proposed farmers market reflects a push to enhance local commerce and community engagement. With the property tax levy discussions, residents may influence future funding for city services.

The council's actions could significantly impact Lynnwood's economic landscape and community resources.
