📰 News we're reading

• Yost swimmers make a showing to protest City charge for Cascade Swim Club (myedmondsnews.com) — Edmonds swimmers and Cascade Swim Club members packed Tuesday’s council meeting to oppose an $83,500 fee hike for using city-owned Yost Pool, as officials hunt for mid-biennial budget savings. Council also clarified the new 20% utility tax, debated reallocating city funds, and approved Comprehensive Plan amendments and a North Bowl Hub rezone that could shape future neighborhood development.
   

• Edmonds School Board hears Scriber Lake students' stories (myedmondsnews.com) — Edmonds School Board members heard powerful testimonies from Scriber Lake High students while reviewing the school’s push to boost graduation rates with intensive wraparound support. The board also grappled with stalled office-staff contract talks, recognized Open Doors and student athletes, and adopted new ethics and student-discipline policies that will shape daily life across Edmonds School District schools.
   

• Secure Rural Schools Reauthorization Heads to President's Desk (gorgenewscenter.com) — From right here in Edmonds, residents are hearing that Congress has advanced a bill to restore and extend Secure Rural Schools funding, which supports roads and schools in forested counties across Washington. While Edmonds itself isn’t a direct beneficiary, the measure would send millions back to rural communities statewide, potentially easing pressure on state budgets that also shape services Puget Sound residents rely on.
