Edmonds Housing Commissioners speak during Thursday night’s meeting.
Working to fulfill the Edmonds City Council’s assigned mission to expand the range of housing in Edmonds, the Edmonds Citizens’ Housing Commission Thursday night invited residents to a remote open house where commissioners unveiled draft policy proposals.
Members of the public are also invited to share their thoughts through a survey at
www.citizenshousingcommission.org/events, which is open until Jan. 11.
On Thursday night, commissioners outlined the policies they are considering as they finalize recommendations to send the Edmonds City Council by the end of January, the result of a process that began with the commission’s first meeting in September 2019. The commission is comprised of 15 members and eight alternates who represent neighborhood districts in Edmonds.
