Bryce Owings is running for Lynnwood City Council, Position 3. Owings is a lifelong Lynnwood resident and works as a union carpenter, helping build the Lynnwood Light Rail. As someone who experienced both addiction and homelessness, Owings is running his campaign with compassion and empathy.

Owings' campaign is prioritizing affordability, public safety, and economic development. According to his campaign's Facebook page, he plans to reduce the cost of housing through zoning and permitting reforms. Owings also wants to prioritize home ownership over rentals.

While Bryce Owings is off to a good start and clearly leading with progressive values, we would like to see his platform be a little more detailed, particularly in including de-escalation and policing alternatives regarding public safety. We would also like to see him specifically address the homelessness crisis.

Jared Mead

Sitio web

Council Chair Jared Mead is running unopposed for another term in the District 4 seat on the Snohomish County Council. Mead has held a number of public service positions, including four years on the Mill Creek City Council, two years as a state lawmaker in Legislative District 44, and his most recent tenure on the county council, where he has sat since he was appointed in 2020 and retained in the next election by voters. Mead, who was born and raised in South Snohomish County, has also worked as a legislative aide and as a campaign manager.

As an elected leader, Mead has been a reliable voice on progressive issues. In the Legislature, he sponsored and passed a bill to require recycled content for bottle manufacturing, the first of its kind in the country. Mead is fighting for a local economy that allows all Snohomish residents to access the basics, like rent, groceries, prescriptions, gas, and tuition. He has worked to build relationships across bipartisan lines across the county to counteract rampant polarization.

In his re-election campaign, Mead is focusing on several key issues, including affordability, public safety, and transportation. Mead supports expanding mental health resources and violence prevention programs to enhance public safety services. He aims to expand access to public transit options and enhance pedestrian and cyclist infrastructure, promoting sustainable transportation methods. Regarding affordable housing, Mead acknowledges the need to increase the housing supply. However, we would be interested to see his approach expand to include solutions such as renter and tenant protections.

Jared Mead has earned your vote for another term on the Snohomish County Council.

Consejo de la Ciudad de Lynnwood, Position #3

Joshua Binda photo

Joshua Binda

Sitio web

Joshua "Josh" Binda is running for re-election for Lynnwood City Council, Position 3. First elected in 2021, Binda became the youngest African American ever elected in Washington state history. Prior to serving on the council, Binda was the Chair of the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Commission for Lynnwood.

Binda's re-election campaign is prioritizing a variety of progressive solutions. Affordability is one of his top priorities, as he advocates for more affordable housing and improved public transportation. Binda takes a more holistic approach to public safety, focusing on wellness and prevention, particularly through youth and mental health services. He also supported the Lynnwood Police gun buyback program, which offered the safe removal of unwanted firearms.

Since the start of his term, Binda has faced multiple controversies and intense scrutiny from some of his colleagues and the local media. He faced challenges from his fellow council members regarding his voter registration, which was ultimately dismissed by the county auditor, as well as misuse of campaign funds. He was subject to a recall petition after it was found that he had spent $2,800 of campaign funds on personal expenses, including dental work and luxury goods. In an interview, Binda stated that he learned from his mistakes and repaid the misused funds.

Binda is the most progressive candidate in this race, but his repeated ethics and judgment issues raised concerns among many Snohomish County progressives. We hope that he continues to learn from these experiences and is more mindful of his use of public resources in the future.

Tyler Hall photo

Tyler Hall

Sitio web

Tyler Hall is challenging incumbent Joshua Binda for Lynnwood City Council, Position 3. Hall has had an expansive career spanning the service industry, law, and technology. He has a JD from the UW School of Law and has since worked in environmental legislation and handling criminal appeals for the Snohomish County Prosecutor.

Hall's campaign takes a progressive approach to addressing the issues facing Lynnwood, including affordable housing and climate change. Hall is supportive of a range of housing options, from apartments to single-family units. He is prioritizing investing in climate change adaptation and disaster preparedness. He is also supportive of increasing walkability and transit infrastructure as a means of mitigating climate change and enhancing community connectivity. Additionally, he hopes to improve resources for people facing addiction and mental health challenges, focusing on rehabilitation rather than criminalization. Unfortunately, Hall's approach to policing comes across as insensitive to communities of color with a history of experiencing police violence. He does not offer any plans for alternative policing, such as social workers and community response teams.
