Lynnwood: Web site explains annexations
People who live just outside Lynnwood can check the city’s Web site for an explanation of how they might be affected if their neighborhoods are proposed for annexation into the city.
Earlier this year, the Lynnwood City Council directed its staff to begin studying areas for possible annexation.
Annexations must be approved by voters or city councils after receiving petitions from residents of the annexation areas. The process includes public hearings.
For more information, go to the city’s explanation of annexation at www.ci.lynnwood.wa.us.
Homeowners annexed into the city could save roughly $640 per year on taxes, according to Lynnwood’s Web site.
