As Edmonds faces another round of budget challenges, we need leaders who know how to manage money wisely and not just talk about it. That is just one reason why we are voting for Glenda.
Glenda has been self-employed as a real estate professional for 30 years. She built her business with hard work, integrity, smarts and by truly caring about the people she serves. These are the ethics and characteristics our city needs.
Glenda’s knowledge of Edmonds real estate brings understanding of the unique needs of each neighborhood. She has lived and worked in Edmonds for 25 years giving her first hand knowledge of the entire city. She will ensure residents and businesses have a voice again. She will make decisions based on what is important to ALL neighborhoods. She will ask tough questions, collaborate, read the fine print, demand transparency and make sure spending decisions reflect real priorities and needs not wants.
Glenda is deeply involved in our community. She currently serves as chair of the Chamber of Commerce, which sponsors events like the July 4th Parade, the Christmas Tree Lighting and others. These events make our City “An Edmonds Kind of Day.” She doesn’t just talk about engagement, she lives it every day.
We are voting for Glenda Krull because of her business skills and genuine care for Edmonds.

Glenda is fiscally responsible and listens to folks who have something they feel passionately about. Glenda is who we need for the city of Edmonds going forward.
A genuine commitment to fiscal responsibility, responsible growth, and valuing community engagement about what is best for Edmonds, Glenda Krull is a welcome candidate for Edmonds City Council. As a long-term Edmonds resident she will bring valuable perspectives to the work of the city council.
Glenda has an in-depth knowledge of this community and a real love for Edmonds. She will bring her business acumen to the job. That’s why I’m supporting her.
I did not know Glenda until I met her a month ago. She is a true professional with deep devotion to our city. She has had a stellar career in edmonds and given countless hours Toi her community. We would be so fortunate to have to have her at the city council.
I also am voting for Glenda. We need people like Glenda on council, who genuinely care about this city and it’s citizens. Glenda has no other agenda other than wanting to do what’s best for all of us.
I’ve known Glenda for several years now and amazed at her dedication and love for our city, Edmonds. Glenda will be an amazing advocate for All Edmonds residence. We need her on our council to ask those difficult questions and make educated decisions. Vote for change, vote for Glenda.
I, too, am voting for Glenda. She is the change we need in Edmonds as what we have had has not been working. She knows business and she knows how to manage money responsibly. Wouldn’t that be refreshing? She understands budgeting and waiting rather than living beyond means. We have been neighbors for over ten years and I’ve seen her in good times and bad. She is genuine, compassionate, and a hard worker. She doesn’t take take shortcuts as she has a long distance view for our city. I am grateful that she is running for city council as I have no doubt she will represent our community well.
Edmonds needs Glenda Krull NOW! We need and deserve a fiscally responsible leader and one that cares deeply for our community.
VOTE GLENDA!!!
I have known Glenda for many many years. She is a hard worker, dedicated, knowledgeable and fiscally responsible. She will respresent the people of Edmonds and the town she loves as a member of the city council She is approachable and will listen to your needs. Glenda is who we need on the city council as we deal with the mess we are in. I am voting for Glenda Krull and encourage you to support her also.
Posting on behalf of Kim Bayer-Augustavo as she is having trouble:
Edmonds NEEDS your vote for Glenda Krull as our next city council member. She is immersed in our community; serving on several boards. She owns her own business, and is known throughout Edmonds as a beloved resident and realtor for many years. As the Edmonds Chamber of Commerce Chair, Glenda understands the needs and issues facing Edmonds business owners throughout all of Edmonds, not just in the bowl. She has dedicated time and attention to attending city council meetings for years, educating herself on what has worked and what hasn’t with city government. She is compassionate, fair, smart, has strong financial skills, and much needed business acumen to navigate through our stormy budget issues. She is also bi-partisan, taking no funding from any one political party.
Her opponent, Chris Eck takes funding (and appears to take her marching orders) from our state democratic leaders to vote exactly like her close friend, Susan Paine. Just look at their voting records. We cannot afford to have two council members thinking the same and voting exactly the same to continually raise our taxes, support unnecessary development, reduce needed parking, and who continually prioritize state needs above Edmonds needs. Glenda will always put Edmonds first. Please vote for change by electing the best candidate. Vote for Glenda Krull.
We need smart, economically wise and independent thinkers on our Council. Glenda will bring those traits to the Council. Vote Glenda.

Glenda Krull definitely has my vote. We need a change on city council and Ms. Krull has the business background and experience to make this a much improved change. It’s a plus for me too that she has been a longtime resident of our beautiful city and loves having history here.
Edmonds is in desperate need of a Council member who will put community needs and our local environment above political partisan platforms – – and Glenda Krull totally fits that need!
Had Glenda Krull been on the Council during the Comp Plan Update, local residents may have had a chance at a Plan that actually balances development with both the human and natural environment. Instead, we had partisan politics driving a “blind-to-the-facts” and non-caring housing agenda into our City.
Please join me in voting for Glenda Krull so that we will have another Council member who will actually listen to the public before Council deliberations, and will support the needs of local residents and our environment.
The City Council needs an experienced mature non-political person that listens to citizens and understand the uniqueness of Edmonds. Glenda has these skills and more and will help build trust back into government if she sticks to her platform goals of listening to citizens, protecting the environment, bringing financial transparency back, instilling fiscal responsibilities through good oversight and governance and be thoughtful with strategic growth goals. We MUST change the composition of the City Council so please vote Krull. and Vote Barnett too as ditto with the summary of skills needed now on Council.
Edmonds has failed the ‘good governance’ test for at least the last 6 years. With the exception of Council Member Michelle Dotsch, no one else on the Council has exhibited consistent fiscal discipline, accountability, transparency, common sense – and put taxpayers first. These are hallmarks of good governance. Glenda (and Erika Barnett) have promised to bring reform to the Council – and they deserve to be given a chance. The Council members they would be replacing have shown a total lack of good governance. It’s time to regain fiscal control and stop the excuses for the excessive spending. It’s time to demand due diligence, performance, efficiency, and good governance! It’s time to focus on making Edmonds affordable to all. https://www.keepedmondsaffordable.com/
We must elect Erika Barnett and Glenda Hull to our CC. This will calm the city down and it will I believe get us where we need to be in many ways. This supposed to be nonpartisan CC isn’t nonpartisan at all. Actions and associations are important to look at. What a CC member does outside of the scope of their position defines what they do on the council. 6 years is about right as far as how long this has been happening. I just want Edmonds to get along and not be like the nation or anywhere but just Edmonds. If we all care together and don’t get caught up in political rhetoric, we can get through this but only if we make sure our city officials are not partisan politicians in disguise…pursuing their own ideals over their duties to all citizens of Edmonds. And on a brighter note, how about those Seahawks and Mariners! Exciting it is. For me it sort of counters the gloom of politics. Also Happy to see the hostages released today. Witnessing those touching moments was really nice I was happy for all that were released today as well as their families.
100% agree.
