Sea lions weigh on 2027 Port of Edmonds budget (myedmondsnews.com) — Sea lion damage at the Port of Edmonds is driving costly dock repairs and a proposed 2027 survey, which could influence future tax levies and moorage rates for local property owners and boaters. Commissioners are also pushing back on the City of Edmonds' transportation impact fees that they say burden new waterfront businesses, while advancing a long-term port master plan and scheduling their next meeting for Sept. 14.

The board is seeking an Edmonds-area resident to fill the vacant District 4 seat by appointment through 2027, with applications due Sept. 23 and clear eligibility rules for interested community members.
