County Council candidates differ sharply on solutions to homelessness
EVERETT — When Megan Dunn was elected to the Snohomish County Council as a Democrat in 2019, she expected to have a term focused on environmental policy and affordable housing.
Then, the county was confronted with a pandemic, increased homelessness and a spike in drug overdoses.
Now, the position is up for election.
Her challenger, Republican Georgia Fisher, wants the council to move to the right, citing disappointment in decisions the council has made on public safety.
