The newly formed Keep Edmonds Vibrant organization is hosting its second community forum from 6:30-7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, April 30 at Frances Anderson Center, Room 115, 700 Main St.,Edmonds. Attendees will be asked to discuss what does a vibrant Edmonds look like to you, both now and in the future?
Building on the momentum from the group’s first workshop April 16, Keep Edmonds Vibrant leaders said they will share important budget updates and discuss ideas for generating sustainable revenue. “Whether you’re a returning participant or attending your first event, your input is crucial to shaping our city’s future,” the group’s announcement said.

How do you keep Edmonds vibrant when you just raised taxes by 100%? How do you keep Edmonds vibrant when you are going to ask for another equally large levy lift in just a few months? Do you expect your tax base will still have money to support Edmonds businesses? Best of luck but my extra thousand plus will be going to the government not local business.
@Jim F – I think your comment is directed to the wrong folks. As I understand it, these folks are concerned citizens, not the one or ones who “raised taxes”. As I read it, this group is looking at solutions but I wasn’t at their first meeting. We’re you?
To be fair I don’t know how they voted in regards to annexation but about 2/3 of citizens voted for annexation. They do seem to want ideas on how to raise city revenue which generally comes from higher taxes. My point the more taxes fees etc. people have to pay the less money they have to spend supporting local businesses.
