Stay tuned - Strom's pants could catch fire.




Edmonds Beacon 10/15/2009


STROM PETERSON responds, (“What is truly spooky is the attempt to TRICK Edmonds citizens into becoming zombie voters by telling ghost stories. The TREAT is that Edmonds residents are too smart to fall for these tall tales.”)

STROM PETERSON blatantly ignores the truth. (His fear-mongering Press Release has been deleted.)

"Peterson agrees, saying, “Building heights is not the issue in downtown Edmonds.
Having vacant storefronts is the issue. Edmonds is known and treasured for its character,
and I have always expressed my commitment to maintaining Edmonds small-town charm.”

Building heights in the Downtown is a CURRENT ISSUE. Two examples: 523 Alder St and 190 Sunset Ave S. Click on the addresses for detailed information. First address is a 35ft tall single family residence. Second address is the Old Safeway/Antique Mall property, west of the Ferry loading lanes. In previous campaigns, Mr Peterson accepted thousands of dollars from Albert Dykes and ESC Associates, owner of this parcel and applicant for the rezone requesting a zoning change from a 25 ft building height limit to 75 ft building height limit. <- click here for a newspaper article.

Mr. Peterson's record favors changing our current Business Commerical District Zone. At every opportunity, Mr. Peterson advocated taller buildings for more $500,000 to $1 million Condos claiming Economic Development!

The Edmonds City Council Again Violates the Open Public Meetings Act.

Edmonds City Council First Executive Session of May 26th 2020 The City Council may meet in executive (closed) session but only for one of the reasons specified in and in accordance with procedures identified in RCW 42.30.110. A personnel matter including a separation agreement is not specifically identified in RCW 42.30.110(1) and therefore is not a legally sufficient reason to meet in closed executive session. The Council discussed the Finance Director Scott James, Separation Agreement in the closed executive session under the guise of potential litigation. When in fact, any potential litigation ceased to exist on May 25 th , 2020, and the seven days from the date Mr. James signed the Separation Agreement, May 18 th , 2020, thus waiving all of his rights to pursue any civil action against the City of Edmonds. On May 26 th , 2020 during agenda item (4) Council President Adrienne Fraley-Monillas moved to add an Executive Session regarding “potential litigation” per RCW 42.30.1

Lighthouse Law Group's inferior legal representation

 Email to Jeff Taraday  PROVIDED FOR THE RECORD:   In Washington State there can be only one open public hearing.   The Hearing Examiner had 10 working days to make a decision. Any extension of that time requirement requires agreement from the applicant and the parties. Uniquely, the Edmonds City Code requires agreement from all parties. I testified at the hearing and was not asked to participate in this extension or provide any further testimony. In fact, my participation has been excluded because of the one open meeting. If there have been communications between the Hearing Examiner and the Applicant those communication would  be ex parte and needed to be provided to me.    Mr. Clugston testified that traditionally the Planning Staff posts the Agenda and Staff report at the Civic Center and Library. Then he stated that ECC 1.03.09 didn’t apply that was for City Council hearings. He stated the Agenda was posted on the City’s website 7 or 6 days prior to hearing. The City C
