Community members are invited to share feedback on South County Fire commissioner election redistricting, following the annexation of Edmonds into the regional fire authority (RFA). Residents can provide input during a free Open House on Tuesday, June 30, 6-8 p.m. at Edmonds Downtown Fire Station, 275 Sixth Ave. N., Edmonds.  

The RFA is governed by seven fire commissioners — five elected from commissioner districts with roughly the same population and two elected at-large. An independent consultant created four proposals that rebalance population across fire commissioner election districts and give Edmonds residents opportunity for direct representation.

Redistricting will allow residents to run for one or more districted commissioner positions that include Edmonds. Edmonds residents can already vote on any commissioner position in a general election, regardless of district. Edmonds has been represented on the board by a non-voting liaison since the city annexed into the RFA in June 2025.

View the four redistricting proposals and find more information at southsnofire.org/redistricting.

Questions or comments on the redistricting proposals can also be submitted via email to mblankenship@southsnofire.org or voicemail at 425-551-1251.

A future public hearing will also be scheduled before the board adopts a final redistricting plan.

Commissioner districts are for election purposes only. These districts will not change or impact 911 responses or the delivery of fire and emergency services.
