Everett Charter Review board, which can set major city rules, taking applications

The Everett Charter Review Board is accepting applications from residents until December 5, with meetings scheduled for 2026. This board of 15 members plays a key role in reviewing and updating the city's Charter, which serves a constitutional function for local governance. Proposed changes will be submitted to the City Council and then appear on the November 2026 ballot for voter approval. The Charter is revised every ten years, ensuring that it remains relevant to the community's needs. Residents interested in shaping local governance can apply through www.
