Lynnwood, WALocal News

The Kicking Gas campaign will host an online information session on transitioning to electric heating on December 3 at 6:30 p. m. via Zoom. Residents will learn about replacing fueled heating systems, energy-efficient solutions, and managing indoor air pollution. Homeowners who participate may qualify for subsidies covering 20% to 100% of their project costs, depending on their income and location.

This initiative is funded by a Philanthropy Northwest Thriving Communities Grant and focuses on the Lynnwood, Marysville/Tulalip, Darrington, and south Everett communities. The campaign is spearheaded by the nonprofit For The People, collaborating with several local organizations including the Sno-Isle Sierra Club and the Homes and Hope Community Land Trust. Attending the information session is a requirement to qualify for the Kicking Gas subsidies. The program aims to promote energy savings and improve indoor air quality for residents. The Kicking Gas campaign reflects a growing trend toward sustainable energy solutions in local communities.
