This resolution was passed in response to bills in the state Legislature that seek to preempt local control. duplexes and fourplexes almost anywhere in city limits — environmental consequences be damned — doesn’t respect Washington state or its people. As a city council member, I invite our state legislators to work with us to solve the affordable housing crisis and the homelessness crisis. Please contact your state representatives and senators and ask them to retain public design review process options at the city level. Jenna Nand is an at-large member of the Edmonds City Council.
