The City of Lynnwood, Washington, is launching its 2025-2026 Budget Community Input Survey to solicit feedback from residents on upcoming budget priorities. Scheduled to remain open until early September, the survey aims to collect valuable insights that will inform the allocation of funds for programs, services, and infrastructure for the next two years. Results from the survey will be presented to the Mayor and City Council, highlighting the crucial role of community input in local governance. To further engage the public, a Budget Open House will be held on September 11 at the Lynnwood City Council Chambers. This event will provide residents an opportunity to learn about the budgeting process and ask questions about budgetary decisions.

The city is committed to transparency and wants to ensure that community voices shape the budget. Residents can contact the city with questions or concerns regarding the budget via email. Participation in the survey and open house is encouraged to foster a collaborative approach to local governance.
