An update on how the City of Edmonds is addressing encampments for those who are homeless and the latest news on Snohomish County's efforts to transform a former hotel into transitional housing were among the topics presented to the Edmonds City Council during virtual committee meetings Tuesday. The council's public safety-planning-human services-personnel committee meeting heard from Deputy Parks and Human Services Director Shannon Burley, who first addressed the issue of encampments and related cleanups.
