The City of Edmonds is holding a Special Election on April 22, 2025 asking voters to consider annexation into the South Snohomish Couty Fire and Rescue Regional Fire Authority. Edmonds City Council proposed annexation and approved this special election by resolution on January 7, 2025. Since 2009, Edmonds no longer operates its own fire department. Edmonds has contracted with South County Fire for fire and emergency medical services since 2010. That contract ends at the end of 2025. If annexation is approved by voters, Edmonds property owners would pay South County Fire directly for these services.
