Strom Peterson: City Council #7, Edmonds

Strom Peterson is progressive and wants to address environmental concerns that have been ignored by incumbents. He believes that increasing urban density is not enough – smart, ecological building is a necessary part of the solution, along with investment in public transportation systems and zoning measures to reduce people’s reliance on cars.
He's supported by a majority of Edmonds community businesses, and has created the Sustainability Star Program to:
- Promote use of alternative renewable non-polluting fuels,
- enact sustainable building codes,
- protect open space,
- clean up Puget Sound, and
- educate people about what they can do to be part of the solution.
These goals are well-aligned with the priorities of the Sierra Club – educating the public is a key component if we are going to change the hearts and minds of those who are ignorant or stubborn.
