Bill Anderson, 70, passed away on Tuesday after a long battle with cancer. Bill was well known in Edmonds for his knowledge and fabulous photos of the Edmonds Marsh and its wildlife. His almost weekly photographs in
My Edmonds News brought to life the diverse wildlife of the Edmonds Marsh (usually hidden to the naked eye). His generous contribution of wildlife photographs to a variety of venues to help educate the public was recognized by the City of Edmonds, with the mayor proclaiming Tuesday, Dec. 3, 2019 as Bill Anderson Day in Edmonds.

The Edmonds City Council, city staff and Mayor Mike Nelson listen Tuesday night to residents’ testimony on the draft tree code.
The Edmonds City Council Tuesday night held a public hearing on draft tree regulations and took another look at a proposed ordinance that would allow hotels as a permitted use on the city’s waterfront but didn’t make a decision on either item.
The proposed code aims to improve tree retention with new development on private property. It would also implement low-impact development principles, would establish a tree fund into which development contributions or tree penalties can be tracked with the proceeds spent on tree planting and preservation and provide updates to definitions, the city’s existing permitting process and the penalties for tree cutting.
