North Edmonds residents and county officials clash over Snohomish County Executive Willis Tucker task force to reassess Paine Field. Opponents warn expansion breaks a 1979 status quo agreement that supported housing growth, while supporters say new review addresses developer pressure and property values. The 17 member panel includes four developers and industry figures amid a nearby Part 150 noise study.

Lynnwood Council approves 10 percent sewer rate hike
The Lynnwood City Council voted 6-0 to raise water and sewer rates by 10 percent, effective January 1, 1987. Average water bills rise from 10.75 to 11.85 monthly and sewer bills from 7.60 to 8.35, with exemptions for seniors under 61 earning under 15,000. The move funds operating costs amid rising utility expenses and defers broader treatment conversion costs.
