Woodinville City Council Champions Regional Partnerships and Cascadia College Project

At its April 4, 2025 meeting, the Woodinville City Council highlighted the critical role of regional partnerships in fostering local development. The council unanimously supported Cascadia College's CC5 Gateway building project, which aims to consolidate student support services for enhanced accessibility. Although the college is based in Bothell, council members acknowledged its significant benefits to Woodinville residents. Councilman David Edwards emphasized how supporting the college contributes to the community's long-term growth. Additionally, the council celebrated recent achievements, including securing $5 million in state funding and preventing a transfer station from moving into Woodinville.

Mayor Mike Millman noted the importance of maintaining strong regional relationships to achieve such successes. The council plans to send a letter of support to Cascadia College and continue monitoring state budget processes to secure necessary funds for infrastructure improvements. These collaborative efforts underline the city's commitment to enhancing educational opportunities and protecting its community.
