Snohomish County Council Evening
Meeting in Edmonds
On Monday
February 5th, the Snohomish County Council will hold their first
evening meeting of 2018 at the Edmonds City Council Chambers at 6pm. The meeting agenda can be found on the County
website and each public meeting includes a public comment period. The Council
encourages the public to attend these meetings as they are able and to come
with ideas and suggestions for the council as the plan for the 2019 County budget. In November of 2016, Snohomish County voters
passed Proposition 5, which requires the County Council to hold an evening
meeting in each of the five County Council districts. The first will be held in District 3, while a
schedule for the remaining districts will be finalized shortly. The Edmonds City Council Chambers are located
at 250 – 5th Ave N in downtown Edmonds.

Free Community Film Series Hosted By
Snohomish County Marine Resources Committee
As part of
their free community film series, the Snohomish County Marine Resources
Committee (MRC) and Snohomish County Public Works will be hosting a Puget
Sound-focused event on Wednesday, February 7th at 7pm. Three films will be shown that feature the
underwater life of Puget Sound and the Olympic Coast, including: Return of the
King, Discovering the Olympic Coast, and a short video on the MRC’s Kelp
Monitoring Project. The event will be
held on the UW Bothell Campus at the North Creek Events Center, and feature
director Florian Graner. The event is
free and open to the public, though an RSVP will help organizers prepare for
the event. While the films (and
popcorn!) are complementary, there is a $4 parking fee at nearby parking lots
and garages. Subsequent films in the
series will be hosted at both UW Bothell and Everett Community College campuses. More information on the dates, locations and
films featured at these free events can be found at www.snocomrc.org.
The public
is invited to meet the artists contributing the “Northwest Vision” exhibit that
is on display at the Lynnwood Convention Center through June of 2018. A reception will be held on February 21st
from 6pm – 8pm that is free and open to the public. This is a great opportunity to meet the
artists and enjoy their work.
Complimentary appetizers will be served and a no-host bar provided. More information on the artists, the exhibit,
hours and location can be found at the convention center website.
Snohomish
County is accepting applications for small capital projects partnership (SCPP)
grants until March 30th, 2018.
These grants are helpful to community groups and cities to fund small
capital projects that might not otherwise be completed. Grants are issued on a reimbursement basis
only and work on the projects must be completed before grant money is
issued. Projects must be submitted by
both the applicant group and a public entity as a joint project. Proposals will be evaluated against criteria
that include: the application’s completeness, the proposed project’s
consistency with funding limitations imposed by the State of Washington for
Real Estate Excise Tax (REET) funds, feasibility and timing to implementation,
availability of matching funds, availability of in-kind materials and labor,
demonstrated success in completing similar projects, and other relevant
information demonstrating the proposed project’s value, readiness, and benefit. Questions regarding the program can be
directed to Jim Martin, Office of the Snohomish County Council, at 425-388-6250
or james.martin@snoco.org.
The
Snohomish County Department of Public Works advises motorists in the Edmonds
area of the full road closure on Norma Beach Road. Effective immediately and until further
notice, Norma Beach Road is closed east of the railroad tracks at approximately
the 7300 block, west of 65th Ave West, due to mud slides. Current conditions will prevent emergency
vehicles, school bus transportation or residents from accessing this area
safely and no vehicles will be allowed on the closed portions of the road at
this time. Questions about this project
may be directed to Snohomish County Public Works, at 425-388-6453 or at their
Roads Central page on the county website.
