Mayor George Hurst has put forth a 2027-28 budget for Lynnwood that includes fourteen staff layoffs. These reductions span several city departments, including development, finance, IT, and parks. The proposed budget aims to balance revenues and expenditures, addressing a significant general fund deficit. Additional revenue is anticipated from potential property tax increases and expanded traffic camera enforcement. The City Council is scheduled to vote on the final budget in November.
