Today's riddle: Why are crows so alert and curious? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Baker Tilly flags looming deficits as Edmonds launches fiscal sustainability task force (myedmondsnews.com) — Edmonds' budget is balanced for now, but consultants warn the city faces a steep revenue drop starting in 2029 and very low reserves, prompting creation of a 15‑member Fiscal Sustainability Task Force. Officials and councilmembers are weighing service changes, new revenues, and reserve policies while mapping out this fall's budget hearings and decisions that could shape city services for the next decade.
• Mayor outlines plan to realign City of Edmonds boards, commissions (myedmondsnews.com) — Edmonds residents should know the mayor is proposing a major overhaul of city boards and commissions, with a public hearing expected in September before changes take effect. The plan would rename and restructure many advisory groups, shift staff time and costs, and reconsider how climate, economic development, DEIA, and other priorities are handled. Councilmembers are weighing civic engagement benefits against tight budgets and limited staff capacity.
• For the first time, 9/11 deaths from disease are being honored; this WA man is one of them (kiro7.com) — An Edmonds man, first responder Bill Engler, is among those newly honored this year for 9/11-related illnesses, 25 years after the attacks. His family in Edmonds reflects on his service at Ground Zero, the health consequences he faced, and how his sacrifice continues to shape his grandchildren's understanding of that day and the importance of helping others.
