Sustainable Lynnwood Survey

One of the main principles of the City's vision statement is "To be a welcoming city that builds a healthy and sustainable
environment." The Sustainability section of the Community Character Element establishes the basis to promote, strive for, and commit to the goal of becoming a sustainable community.  It is the goal of the City to collaborate with the community and its partners to create a “Sustainable Lynnwood.”

Through this survey, the City of Lynnwood Community Development Department is seeking input from community members, businesses and stakeholders about sustainability. In the coming months, City staff will develop a sustainability program that will involve the community in implementing ways that the city can become more sustainable. 
 
We encourage your participation and input for this survey.  If you have any questions, please contact Todd Hall, Planning Manager, thall@lynnwoodwa.gov, 425-670-5407.  Thank you.
