Join Us for the 59th Annual Medina Days Celebration from August 8-13, 2023!

Medina Days, a cherished community event in Medina, will take place from August 8 to 13, offering a range of activities designed to engage residents and celebrate local culture. Events include music performances, food options, a parade, and fireworks, highlighting the community spirit. Residents are urged to subscribe for updates via the city’s website and follow Medina on social media for further engagement. The article also informs readers about significant housing legislation passed by the Washington State Legislature, which mandates the allowance of two accessory dwelling units (ADUs) per lot and the inclusion of middle housing types in city planning. These changes aim to enhance housing density and provide diverse living options, with implementation required by June 30, 2025.

The city’s comprehensive plan update, due by the end of 2024, will reflect these new housing policies. Additionally, residents needing tree removal assistance are reminded to check permit requirements and connect with city staff. Upcoming City Council budget hearings are scheduled for October 9 and November 13, 2023, offering transparency and involvement opportunities for the community.
