The City of Lynnwood became incorporated in 1959 and is one of the largest cities in Snohomish County with a population of 38,143. Lynnwood is a forward thinking city that strives to engage in projects that will help build a more vibrant community.

In the 2019 legislative session, Washington approved a local revenue sharing program for local governments by providing up to 0.0146% local sales and use tax credited against the state sales tax for housing investments. The tax credit is in place for up to 20 years and can be used for acquiring, rehabilitating, or constructing affordable housing; operations and maintenance of new affordable or supportive housing facilities; and, for cities with under 100,000 resident population, rental assistance. The funding must be spent on projects that serve persons whose income is at or below 60% (sixty percent) of the area’s median income who reside in a rental dwelling unit.

A total of $120,000.00 is allocated for the award of the selected proposal.
