Edmonds City Council may vote on allowing waterfront hotels
EDMONDS — Restaurants, retail shops and office spaces line the Edmonds waterfront, but no hotels.
That could change.
The Edmonds City Council is considering amending the waterfront’s commercial zoning to allow temporary lodging. Members could vote on the revision at Tuesday’s meeting.
“We know that we don’t have anywhere near the available rooms as some of our neighbors, like Lynnwood,” said Patrick Doherty, the city’s economic development director. “We’d like to capture the greater economic impact that lodging provides in our town. The rest of downtown allows hotels. For some reason, the zoning excludes it from that portion.”
