A group of dedicated volunteers joined us for Clean and Green, a cleanup project at South Lynnwood Park, to remove invasive plants and weeks and readying the park for renovation.

Calling all Lynnwood K-12 educators! The City of Lynnwood has some great opportunities to teach students about salmon, water quality, habitat requirements, and how our actions on land affect our salmon, orca whales, and all other aquatic life.

Salmon in the classroom: Raise salmon in your own classroom! Receive fertilized Coho salmon eggs and raise them until they are ready to be released into the wild. Visit our hatchery for a field trip to release your own fish and see the process at a larger scale. Classroom presentations are also available.

Salmon release field trip: Can’t raise your own fish in the classroom? Don’t worry, the city has plenty of fish for your students to release! Visit the city of Lynnwood’s hatchery and environmental education center to learn about water quality, native plants, the salmon life cycle, and get a chance to release a salmon into the wild!

Classroom presentations

The City of Lynnwood partners with Nature Vision to offer a wide range of environmental education programs including nature in the classroom, habitat connections, and watershed programs.

Space is limited! For more information and to get involved, contact Cameron Coronado at 425-670-5245 or [email protected].

Message from Mayor Nicola Smith

2019 is coming to an end and we’ve got so much to be grateful for in the City of Lynnwood! I try to make a point of finding and expressing gratitude in each day.

For me, it starts at home. I am so incredibly grateful for my family and friends

who love and support me. I’m grateful for my neighborhood that is filled with caring neighbors, a wonderful park with trails, and conveniences such as nearby restaurants and shopping.

I’m grateful that when I come to City Hall each day, I get to work with our City employees who are dedicated and caring public servants who bring their best self to work day in and day out to provide our community with excellent services.

I’m grateful for our amazing volunteers that give their time and skills to a wide variety of City programs such as our Recreation Center, Police Department, and Senior Center, just to name a few.

I’m grateful for the relationships that have been forged between Lynnwood and our community partners such as Community Transit, Homage, and Verdant Health Commission. Also, the relationships that have grown and strengthened with our neighboring cities and our legislative representatives.

I’m grateful that Lynnwood is a safe and welcoming community that respects all people and strives to be fair and equitable. With so many positive things happening in our community, Lynnwood is a place that we can all be grateful to call home!

A makeover is coming to South Lynnwood Park which looks the same today as it did when it was developed forty years ago. This 4-acre neighborhood park features a large lawn, sport courts, playground, walking paths and natural area. Its position along the Interurban Trail provides a unique connection for walkers and cyclists in the South Lynnwood neighborhood, which is Lynnwood’s most diverse, to businesses and homes. However, its 1970s architecture doesn’t meet the needs of our current residents and visitors with an inaccessible playground, small sidewalks, and lack of seating and picnic facilities.

So, when the City was approached by The Trust for Public Land (TPL) to improve the park’s playground and health opportunities at the park, we jumped at the chance to give the park a much-needed update. Using a grant from Kaiser Permanente, TPL and the City set out to conduct outreach in the neighborhood to gauge interest in the project and learn from users what they wanted to see change at the park. School visits, classroom design meetings, and open houses at the park resulted in hundreds of comments and ideas for the park. The overwhelming desires for the park are to be nature-themed, fun, fix the lawn, and bring people together. When we asked Cary Simmons, Parks for People Program Manager at The Trust for Public Land, what the main goal of this park improvement is, his response was simply, “for a better community.” TPL’s main goal is to improve the quality

Thank you to everyone that joined us on Saturday, September 8th for the fourth annual Fair on 44th—

Lynnwood’s Health & Safety Community Block Party. Over 4,500 Lynnwood neighbors filled 44th Ave and

participated in demonstrations, activities, games, enjoyed food trucks, took home freebies, and learned all about

Lynnwood’s city services. A special thank you to the 80+ community partners and organizations, and volunteers that helped to make our block party a great success!

Menorah Lighting Celebration Join the Chabad Jewish Center of Snohomish County in a celebration of the first day of Chanukah. Enjoy the Grand Menorah Lighting, traditional songs, Chanukah doughnuts, chocolate gelt, and more!

of life and make sure everyone has equal access to these play spaces.

With the support of TPL and our extensive outreach the neighborhood, the City submitted three grant applications to the State’s Recreation & Conservation Office to support the redevelopment of the park and was successfully awarded $1.3 million for the project. This funding includes $500,000 from the Land and Water Conservation Fund, known as LWCF, recently authorized by the US Congress with support from Senator Cantwell and Representative Larsen.

With the project now funded, landscape architecture firm MIG/SVR is working to take the park’s design from concept to final design by the end of the year. Construction for the improvements which will include a new soccer field, basketball court, picnic shelter and nature-themed playground will begin in the spring. One exciting feature of the park improvements will include a painted mural on the restroom building designed and painted by local elementary students.

The City of Lynnwood is preparing for the cold and wet season, and here’s what you can do to prepare too:

• Cover and wrap hose bibs in the front and back of your house to prevent freezing pipes.

• Remove debris such as leaves and packed snow from storm drains. This will help alleviate drainage problems along roadways and prevent flooding or melted snow from refreezing.

• After a heavy rainfall our storm drains can be overloaded; avoid driving through water on the roadways and in parking lots. The average automobile can be swept off the road in 12 inches of moving water, and attempting to drive through water may also damage your engine.

• Prepare a 3-day emergency kit. Now is the time to gather emergency items such as enough food and water for your family for three days, flashlights and batteries, first-aid supplies, pet food, and other essential comfort items. For useful tips visit www.ready.gov.

• The City’s Traffic Engineers are constantly looking at signal timing and making adjustments to help the flow of traffic. Check out our live traffic cameras and plan your route before you leave so that you can avoid traffic back-ups: www.LynnwoodWA.gov/City-Services/Streets--Traffic-and-Transportation/Traffic-Cameras.htm

• Use extreme caution while driving in inclement weather of any kind. Allow plenty of time to get to your destination, always yield to service vehicles such as plows, sanders, and transit buses, and avoid driving through large amounts of water. And, if you don’t have to go out when the roads are dangerous, please don’t!

The City Council has been busy this year reaching out during our City events. We spoke with a number of residents who shared concerns and complaints, sometimes even compliments. In the City, volunteers are engaged and excited about their part in the future of our City. Now it’s your turn. First, I want to tell you a story:

It all began with a crosswalk. That and a group of determined women that wouldn’t take no for an answer. These women came prepared with where the crosswalk was needed and why it was critical. And they came back. They gave us input on other topics, too. And they are civil with their discourse. Something we can all use. It’s been very refreshing!

Here are some ways that you can connect with us:

• Public Comments during a Council Business Meeting: This is the time for you to talk to us. Unless the comments from the speaker are egregious we aren’t able to respond during this time. (Remember, you will need to give your name and address before speaking).

• Council Comments time: If you wait for the Council Comments portion of the meeting, you may get a response right then. Sometimes, though, we don’t have the information or we can’t discuss it. We will make sure your question gets to the correct staff person.

• Volunteering: Get to know your city with Lynnwood University; apply to serve on a commission or board; help out in the parks; do vacation checks with our VIPs—there really is something for everyone.

• Run for office: Every two years there’s an election for city council seats, and the mayor is every four years. City Council Members and the Mayor serve four year terms.

• Subscribe and Follow: Let us send you updates. Like, follow, and subscribe to our social media accounts and sign up for Lynnwood eNews to get email updates.

Come see us, talk to us, call, write…we really do like to hear from you. Reaching out to us can and does make a difference. I know a group of women who can show you how it’s done.

This January, the Lynnwood Police Department will be offering

their 14-week Community Academy, formerly known as the Citizens Academy, which is a unique learning experience conducted by the police department and designed to give community members a better understanding of the mission, values, and operations of the police department.

During this interactive course, participants will be introduced to the basic information that all police officers must know to perform their jobs, including patrol tactics, criminal and narcotics investigations, use of force, communications, DUI procedures, and domestic violence to name just a few.

This is a great opportunity for those interested in the fascinating field of criminal justice, current trends in criminal activity, personal safety, crime prevention, and volunteering with our agency.
