1.1 Approval and Implementation
The City of Arlington’s CEMP Annex establishes an all-hazards approach to enhance the City of
Arlington’s ability to manage emergencies and disasters. It defines how emergency management
will be coordinated within the City of Arlington in order to save lives; protect public health,
safety, property, the economy, and the environment; and foster a return to a normal way of life.
It does this by:
• Identifying how organizations within the City of Arlington coordinate to prepare for and
mitigate against hazards of all kinds.
• Assigning responsibilities to organizations and individuals during emergencies that
exceed the routine capability of any one agency.
• Setting forth lines of authority and organizational relationships.
• Describing how multi-agency actions will be coordinated.
• Identifying personnel, equipment, facilities, supplies, and other resources available
within the City of Arlington or by agreement with other jurisdictions.
This Annex was developed through collaborative efforts of the City of Arlington’s departments,
public safety agencies, community partners, and Snohomish County Department of Emergency
Management (DEM). This Annex applies to emergency management activities coordinated by
City of Arlington.
This version dated [Insert Promulgation Date] supersedes all previous editions.

2. Introduction
2.1 Purpose
This Annex (“Annex”) is an all-hazards annex to the Snohomish County (“County”)
Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan (CEMP) for the City of Arlington. The Annex
describes how the City of Arlington’s preparedness, response, and recovery activities are
coordinated. The Annex may be applied to any incident, natural or human caused, that involves
the response of multiple departments or agencies outside the scope of normal operations or has
the potential to exceed normal capabilities.
The Annex describes how the City of Arlington:
• Plans, trains, and exercises in preparation for disasters and emergencies.
• Partners with external stakeholders and community members to take an all-hazards,
whole community approach to disaster preparedness, mitigation, response, and
recovery.
• Identifies and implements mitigation strategies that reduce vulnerability to hazards.
• Establishes and enacts lines of authority and partnerships to execute tasks and
responsibilities.
• Clarifies functions and responsibilities of participating and cooperating departments,
agencies, municipalities, organizations, and individuals.
• Develops processes to effectively return the City of Arlington to normal as soon as
possible.
2.2 Scope
This Annex coordinates prevention, response, and recovery efforts to disasters and emergencies
impacting the incorporated area of City of Arlington. As an annex to Snohomish County’s CEMP,
the Annex also describes the coordination between City of Arlington and Snohomish County
through the Department of Emergency Management (DEM) and the County’s Emergency
Operations Center (EOC).
Each department and responsible entity identified in this Annex will use the annex and the
County’s CEMP as the basis for development and implementation of plans, policies, procedures,
and guides to direct response and recovery in the event of a disaster or emergency to the City of
Arlington.

3. Situation
3.1 Jurisdiction Profile and Demographics
The City of Arlington is located in northern Snohomish County where the North Fork and
South Fork of the Stillaguamish River meet. As of 2023, the incorporated boundary of
Arlington encompasses a total of 9.97 square miles (6,380 acres), but the service area of
the City extends beyond that boundary. The largest land use within the City is residential
properties followed by industrial and commercial zoned with The Arlington Airport making
up the fourth largest land use within the City. The southern boundary of the City’s limits
abuts the northern boundary of the City of Marysville, and the majority of the land around
this area is industrial and manufacturing land uses and is referred to as the Cascade
Industrial Center (CIC). The City is bounded by unincorporated Snohomish County on the
west, north, and east city limits. The majority of uses surrounding the City consists of
agricultural and rural residential lands. The Stillaguamish Tribe’s reservation lands dots
various areas north of the City, all within three miles of the City limits.
For more specific information about the demographics and services the City Provides
please see Appendix A – City Infrastructure Information.
3.2 Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (HIRA)
The Snohomish County Hazard Mitigation Plan (HMP) is published separately, and the
accompanying risk assessment provides information on potential natural, technological, and
human caused hazards throughout the County. The dynamic and cascading variables of a
disaster may alter this assessment.
The Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (HIRA) identifies Snohomish County’s hazards and
their potential and estimated consequences (including impacts to residents, buildings and
infrastructure, the economy, and the natural environment.) The HIRA identifies those hazards
the County is at risk from as the basis for an all-hazards approach to preparedness, mitigation,
response, and recovery. The table below is the ranking of the 13 hazards, from highest to lowest,
that City of Arlington faces. For more information on each hazard, please refer to the City of
Arlington’s Annex in the Snohomish County Hazard Mitigation Plan.
City of Arlington [Date]

Ranked Hazards Local Description of Exposure and Vulnerability
Earthquake & Tsunami identified under both the Cascadia Subduction Zone and Southern
Whidbey Island Fault Zones to experience “Very Strong Shaking” in
large earthquake scenarios. Impacts to infrastructure, housing, power
outages, dam failures and mass casualties could happen. Areas around
Arlington have been identified as highly susceptible to liquefaction
from an earthquake. Arlington has been identified as having five
population islands, if roadways and bridges are not passable.
The inland routes for tsunamis from an earthquake are likely not able
to reach City limits. Though the Stillaguamish River may experience a
backflow from a tsunami.
Cascading impacts include supply chain disruption, inability for workers
to get to work, debris management, power supply disruption,
sheltering needs, rail line and airport runway repairs, medical facility
Mass Earth Movement
,the potential
possible loss of homes, transportation access and debris.
The areas outside of the City limits along the Stillaguamish River have
higher potential for mass earth movement and the cascading impacts
of an event along that waterway could create flooding and debris flows
downstream to the City. Transportation routes along the roads to the
east and evacuation routes could be blocked during such an event. The
Oso Landslide of 2014 is an example of a mass earth movement and its
Volcano moderate risk of lahar flows along the Stillaguamish River, if an
eruption were to occur. Flooding, infrastructure damage (water,
wastewater, bridges, roadways), property damage, loss of life for both
human and livestock. Depending on how an ash cloud forms or falls
the City could experience fallout.
The City also could be impacted by other volcanoes in the Cascade
and experience transportation impacts
Dam Failure or any large dam failures, but smaller dams in the area could have local
impacts of flooding, debris management and blocked roadways if their
structures are compromised. Rainbow Springs Dam, Hilltop Waterski
Pond, Sisco Heights Dam, Rio Mount Dam and Firnstahl Dam are
smaller local dams that could have some local impacts.
Cascading impacts of outside dam failures would be mostly
transportation, displaced persons
City of Arlington [Date]
10
Flood
The Stillaguamish River flowing through Arlington poses the biggest
risk of flooding and annually impacts to property, transportation and
businesses are experienced. Much of the City lies within the 100- and
500-year floodplain. The water and wastewater facilities lie within the
floodplain boundary which creates an added vulnerability in a large
catastrophic flood. Agricultural land could be inundated, impacting
crops and livestock. Damage to bridges and roadways could impair
access for food, medical assistance or work for some residents in
population islands.
Cascading impacts of outside flooding could be transportation, supply
and sheltering needs.
Hazardous Materials
, 531
Arlington and transportation of hazardous materials along these
corridors creates an exposure for the City. Burlington Northern Santa
Fe (BNSF) railroad also runs through Arlington posing risks of
hazardous material spills. Populations along these corridors and the
waterways are vulnerable to spills, fumes and fire. Within City limits
there are industrial facilities within identified as those who deal with
toxins . Exposure includes identification of toxins and notification to
residents for evacuation or sheltering in place and water source
contamination.
Cascading impacts include clean-up and disposal of material, water
and soil quality and remediation, relocation of residents, returning
public trust and possible lawsuits.
Wildfire
Wildfire potential risk for Arlington with the City
bounded on two sides by forestland and the others by farming or open
land. Annually the City experiences small brush fires due to dry
weather conditions and in more recent years have experienced smoke
from wildfires around the State. Exposures include loss of property,
loss of life, evacuations, air quality, power shutoffs and possible
damage to utility infrastructure.
Cascading impacts of wildfire in the general area include burn scar
impacts (loss of soil, flash flood), long term sheltering, transportation
and power grid damage.
Cybersecurity
population size, airport utility
infrastructure create a high risk for cybersecurity threats. The general
public and local businesses also experience a moderate risk of cyber-
attacks due to the frequency of the attacks and education of vulnerable
populations.
Exposures include loss of economy, public trust, service disruptions
Disease Outbreak the lower population and the stress on the local health care facilities.
City of Arlington [Date]

disruption of economy, supply shortages,
and clinic overrun and staffing shortages.
Cascading impacts include school closures, long term health impacts,
Active Assailant
Active assailant risk , but due to the Highway 530
and Highway 9 corridors running through the City, the potential for
criminal activity from other areas to move into and through the City is
increased. The possibilities of mass casualties, school lockdowns, road
closure, traffic control, limited medical response and hospital
capabilities are exposures.
Cascading impacts could include disruption in business and daily
activities, reduced visitor numbers, business interruption and erosion
of public trust.
Severe Weather Events residents due to the highways and waterways running through the City.
The topography of the area creates susceptible areas for flooding from
heavy rains or snow and wind tunnels from windstorms. Property
damage from these events is the highest risk. Other risks are
infrastructure damage, blocked roadways, power outages, and
damaged residents and businesses.
Cascading impacts could include loss of recreation areas,
transportation disruption, increase demand for mutual aid, debris
power outage disruptions.
Aircraft Accident
Due to the location of the Arlington Airport, the City is at moderate risk
of aircraft accidents over other cities without airports. Most of the
aircraft to and from the airport are small personal airplanes and
helicopters. The Arlington Airport is large enough to land commercial
airplanes and with the proximity of the City to Paine Field in Everett
there is the possibility of a large plane being re-routed to Arlington and
this could pose additional risk.
Cascading impacts from an aircraft accident in the nearby area could
impact transportation, stress on public safety response, power outages
Extreme Heat & Drought The location and topography of Arlington alleviate some of the higher
temperature risks. With over a third of the population children and
elderly listed as vulnerable to heat, specific populations could be
impacted. Also, when the temperatures soar, visitors to the waterways
increases, adding to the population and risk impact.
Cascading impacts of extreme heat and drought could be fires and
power outages. Fires pose health, property and safety risks and power
outages could impact cooling systems for residents and impact those

3.3 Economy
Much of Arlington’s footprint resides within what is identified as the Cascade Industrial Center
Arlington’s economy has a global reach. With diverse and robust manufacturing and industrial
clusters, as well as economic interests, Arlington’s economy provides a sustainable employment
base, allowing residents the opportunity to live, learn, work, and play in the same community.
Maintaining diverse employment sectors has allowed Arlington to weather economic
downturns. and vibrancy.
Inflow and outflow job counts in the City limits are as follows from 2023 reports:
Employed in the City limits but living outside the area – 10,068 persons- 87.5%
Employed and living in the City limits - 1,432 persons 12.5%
Living in the City limits but employed outside 8,901 persons – 86.1%
Living and employed in the City limits 1,432 persons– 13.9%
Summer events in the City center draw large crowds (500 to 1,000 visitors) throughout the
summer months and the annual Darrington Bluegrass Festival draws 1,500 participants
most moving through Highway 530. The Amazon Fulfilment center employs about 1,000
persons with many commuting in and out of the City. The new Snohomish County PUD
Operations Center building will house a 35 lithium-ion battery storage system.
3.4 Government Structure
City of Arlington [Date]
13
The City of Arlington operates under a Mayor-Council form of government. The Mayor serves as
the Chief Executive Officer of the city. The City Administrator, under the Mayor's direction,
oversees all city operations, implements policy direction established by the Mayor and City
Council, and manages the daily operations of the city to ensure city services are effectively and
efficiently provided. The City Administrator serves as chief advisor to the Mayor and City Council,
makes reports and recommendations to the City Council, and ensures implementation of city
policies. The City Departments include Administration, Finance, Police, Information Technology,
Maintenance and Operations, Community and Economic Development, Airport and Public
Works. Services provided by the City include a water and wastewater services along with
multiple parks and a vibrant engagement program.
3.5 Operations
The City of Arlington’s Emergency Operations Center (EOC) structure will follow a hybrid
departmental style structure if full operations are required. Due to the lack of depth of
personnel resources to staff a full EOC, the City may request assistance from Snohomish County
DEM for Planning and Logistics. Finance, Operations, and Joint Information Center (JIC)
functions within the EOC will be staffed by City personnel. Public Works, Maintenance and
Operations, Airport, Police and IT Departments will function as normal and report up through
the EOC. An Emergency Operations Plan is being created for the entire City with a planned
completion in 2027. The Airport has filed and maintains an active Emergency Operations Plan
and updates it regularly. Department liaisons will coordinate with EOC staff to provide updates,
and the EOC staff will coordinate with the County for situational awareness.
3.6 Whole Community
The whole community approach to emergency management refers to a commitment to
incorporating participation and input from partners in the private and nonprofit sectors,
including non-governmental organizations and the public into emergency preparedness
activities. The importance of the whole community in emergency management planning is that
individuals, families, businesses, government, nonprofit and faith-based organizations come
together to prepare for disasters and represent the needs of their respective communities. This
includes those with limited English proficiency, access and functional needs, aging populations,
children, and those from culturally diverse backgrounds. This Annex endeavors to engage the
whole community during the planning process.
Whole community also includes a determination of the best ways to organize and strengthen
resources, capacities, and interests. Engaging in whole community emergency management
planning builds a more effective path to societal security and resilience. This Annex supports the
following whole community principles:
• Understand and meet the needs of the entire community, including people with
disabilities and those with other access and functional needs.
• Engage and empower all parts of the community to assist in all phases of the
disaster cycle, including those who do not speak English as a primary or native
language.
City of Arlington [Date]
14
• Strengthen activities that work well daily to be leveraged in a disaster response.
In keeping with the whole community approach, this Annex was developed with the guidance of
representatives from City of Arlington’s City/Town departments, law enforcement, fire services,
emergency management, the access and functional needs communities, and various other
stakeholders.
3.7 Planning Assumptions
The following assumptions apply to this Annex:
• Local authorities maintain operational control and responsibility for emergency
management activities within their jurisdiction, unless otherwise superseded by
statute or delegation of authority.
• Some emergencies or disasters will occur with enough warning that appropriate
notification can be achieved to ensure some level of preparation. Other situations
will occur with no advanced warning.
• Priority of response and recovery will be to protect life, property, the environment,
and the economy.
• An incident may overwhelm the capabilities of the jurisdiction or the County to
provide prompt and effective emergency response and recovery.
• If the situation is beyond the response or recovery capabilities of the jurisdiction or
county department, then the jurisdiction, county department, or outside agency
will request activation of the County’s Emergency Operations Center (EOC) who, as
available and appropriate, will coordinate with other city, town, tribal, county,
State, and Federal emergency management agencies and responders.
• Response and recovery are best coordinated at the lowest level of government.
• Infrastructure damage after a major disaster could cut parts of the county off from
assistance. County residents, businesses, and industries need to be prepared to be
self-sufficient following a disaster for a minimum of fourteen days.
• Communications systems may be overloaded and/or suffer physical disruption
from incident damage and/or loss of staff.
• Emergency personnel may be casualties of the incident, preventing them from
performing their assigned emergency duties.
• Separate or cascading incidents may complicate response and recovery operations.
• Survivors may be in life-threating situations requiring immediate rescue and
medical care. Resources for these rescues may not be available.
• Damage to lifeline infrastructure such as roads, rail, air transportation facilities,
ports, seaport terminals, communications systems, and utilities (water, power, gas)
may hinder emergency response efforts, as well as impact normal distribution of
public/private resources (food, fuel, water, etc.).
City of Arlington [Date]
15
• The County may be unable to satisfy all emergency resource requests during an
emergency or disaster. The arrival of state and/or federal assistance may be
delayed dependent upon the magnitude of the disaster.
• Emergency management activities are accomplished using the National Incident
Management System (NIMS).
• Before requesting EOC resources, normal operational and mutual aid requests
must be exhausted or are forecasted to be exhausted.
• The Annex and activities will align with State and Federal plans unless they inhibit
the response and recovery efforts of activities at the local level.
• Department and agency supporting plans and procedures are updated and
maintained by responsible parties but align with this Annex.
• The Annex may not cover all aspects of every disaster but provides a framework
response to all hazards.
• Vulnerable populations (including but not limited to those who may have special
health or medical conditions, disabilities, access and functional needs, limited
English proficiency, children, or those that may be experiencing homelessness)
have unique needs and may require additional assistance before, during, and after
disaster.
• Mitigation activities conducted prior to an emergency or disaster may reduce loss
of life, injuries, and damage.

4.3 Direction, Control, and Coordination
4.3.1 Direction
The mayor, or designee, of the City of Arlington is responsible for establishing objectives
and policies for City of Arlington’s emergency response, in concert with the County EOC,
and providing general guidance for local disaster response and recovery operations. The
Mayor or City Administrator or designee may declare an emergency. The Mayor, City
Administrator, Council and Department Directors participate in the Multi-agency
Coordination (MAC) Group when needed during a disaster response.
City of Arlington [Date]
33
The City’s response strategy shall be set by the City Administrator or designee and when
and if an Incident Commander or Unified Command structure is established in a City
response may include contracted public agencies (North County Fire District, Snohomish
County Sheriff’s Office), relevant City departments, and other agencies.
4.3.2 Communication of Strategic Direction
Internal Communication: Strategic goals and priorities are communicated to City staff and
response partners through regular briefings, situation reports and incident action plans.
The DOC lead and department heads are responsible for disseminating information within
their teams and ensuring alignment with operational objectives.
External communication: Public messaging is coordinated through the Incident
Commander/Unified Command to the City’s PIO and when activated the Snohomish
County Joint Information System (JIS) This ensures consistent, accurate and timely
information is shared with the public, media and other stakeholders.
The strategic direction must be communicated to
• All activated DOCs and department heads
• Unified command partners
• Emergency Management Coordinators
• Public Information Officer
• Snohomish County DEM
• JIS (if activated)
• Elected officials and City Council (as appropriate)
This structure ensures that the City’s emergency response is guided by clear leadership,
coordinated across agencies and communicated effectively to all stakeholders.
4.3.3 Control
The on-scene Incident Commander is responsible for field operations. Some field
operations can be handled independently of an EOC, and others require greater
coordination with one. The Incident Commander is responsible for the following:
• Direct and control the on-scene response to the emergency and managing the
emergency resources committed.
• Demobilization of resources or staff that have exceeded their capacity,
functionality, and/or lifecycle, or are no longer needed or projected to be
necessary.
• Initiating warning to the population in the impacted incident area and providing
emergency instructions.
o For mass alerting (Reverse 911, EAS, WEA) County DEM or Snohomish 911
will create and send messaging throughout the County, based on direction
from the on-scene Incident Commander.
City of Arlington [Date]
34
o If the County Joint Information System is activated, alerts will be
coordinated there.
• Determining and implementing protective measures, evacuation or in-place
sheltering, for the population in the impacted incident area and for emergency
responders at the scene.
• Implementing traffic control arrangements in and around the incident scene.
• Requesting additional resources from the City of Arlington’s EOC, County EOC, or
County Duty Officer.
During emergency operations, department heads retain administrative control over their
employees and equipment. However, personnel and equipment assigned to the incident
carry out mission assignments directed by the Incident Commander. This may include
working outside normal jurisdictional boundaries.
4.3.4 Coordination
When the City of Arlington EOC is activated, there is a clear division between the
responsibilities of an Incident Commander and the Jurisdiction or County EOC. For a list of
responsibilities of an Incident Commander, see 4.3.2.
The City of Arlington EOC, when activated, is generally responsible for:
• Assembling accurate information on the emergency and current resource data to
allow local officials to make informed decisions on courses of action.
• Receiving information from the Incident Commander, governmental departments,
and the public. Providing reports and situational awareness information to the
County EOC, if activated.
• Working with representatives of emergency services to determine and prioritize
required response actions and coordinate implementation.
• Providing resource support for emergency operations; when local resources are
exhausted, requesting additional people, equipment, and supplies through the
County EOC.
• Issuing instructions and providing emergency information to the public;
coordinating public information with the Snohomish County Joint Information
System, if activated.
• Organizing and implementing large-scale evacuations, with support from the
County EOC.
• Organizing and implementing shelter and mass care arrangements for evacuees,
with support from the County EOC.
• Coordinating traffic control for large-scale evacuations, with support from the
County EOC.
City of Arlington [Date]
35
Each of City of Arlington’s departments and entities identified in this Annex should develop
an internal operational control structure consistent with NIMS. Through that system, each
entity can participate in building, maintaining, and sharing a common operating picture
consistent with the County EOC.
4.3.5 Snohomish County Coordination
Under normal conditions, County DEM operates a 24/7 Duty Officer program. The Duty
Officer can be reached directly, or through 911, to address time-sensitive emergency
management related questions or requests by the jurisdiction.
The Snohomish County EOC may be activated at the request of the City of Arlington.
When activated, the County EOC is generally responsible for:
• Multi-agency coordination and incident command support.
• Coordination and implementation of policy decisions that protect life and property
and disseminating those decisions to all concerned agencies and individuals.
• Assembling accurate information on the emergency and current data to maintain
situational assessment and allow local officials to make informed decisions on
courses of action.
• Working with representatives of emergency services to determine and prioritize
required response actions and coordinate countywide implementation.
• Requesting assistance from the State and other external sources.
• Providing resource support for emergency operations including demobilization.
• Establishing and maintaining operational coordination and communications.
5. Information Collection, Analysis, and Dissemination
The accurate and timely collection, analysis, and sharing of information is critical in developing
situational awareness during an emergency or disaster. This collation of information should
result in creating a common understanding of the incident, also known as the Common
Operating Picture (COP), from which appropriate responses can be formulated.
City of Arlington [Date]
36
Below is an example to illustrate the flow of information during disaster response:
5.1 Essential Elements of Information
Essential Elements of Information (EEIs) are critical pieces of intelligence that agencies and
responders need to successfully make decisions during response and recovery. EEIs must be
specific and measurable to help assess barriers for response and recovery. They must facilitate
the efficient allocation of resources by providing clear understanding of the situation and the
needs of the impacted area.
EEIs may be used to support the development of a common operating picture, timely decision
making, and a data-informed understanding of the supply chain. It is likely that, due to the
unpredictable nature of disruptive events, each incident will require incident specific EEIs that
will need to be developed in real time. Snohomish County’s Towns and Cities provide the County
EOC with EEIs where it will be consolidated, analyzed, and disseminated to all partners,
horizontally and vertically.
City of Arlington [Date]
37
Information is shared through a variety of methods collectively comprising the common
operating picture. These methods may include verbal reports, emails, situation reports, GIS-
based data and displays, and other digital means of communication.
In the Snohomish County EOC, information flows to and from the public through ESF-15 by using
a Joint Information Center (JIC) and Joint Information System (JIS).
5.1.1 Community Lifelines
Community Lifelines are the County’s preferred method for categorizing EEIs in a
meaningful way. FEMA Community Lifelines doctrine states, “Lifelines are the most
fundamental services in the community that enable all other aspects of society to function.
They are the integrated network of assets, services, and capabilities that are used day-to-
day to support the recurring needs of the community. When disrupted, decisive
intervention (e.g., rapid service re-establishment or employment of contingency response
solutions) is required.” Using this construct determines how information is methodically
framed, organized, and reported from the local level to the County EOC, to State
Emergency Management, and to FEMA during response and recovery.
The Community Lifeline table for the City of Arlington below lists corresponding
components and subcomponents that, when analyzed, capture essential elements of
information for response decision makers. Community Lifeline status information is shared
reciprocally between the jurisdiction and the County.
During response, the jurisdiction is responsible for collecting information for these
indicators and reporting the information to the County EOC. The County EOC is responsible
for collecting information from jurisdictions and ESF representatives to build a countywide
Community Lifelines. The countywide Community Lifelines is shared with local jurisdictions
and the State EOC. The State EOC shares the information with FEMA.
The City of Arlington is building windshield surveys along with GIS capabilities to align with
the Community Lifeline categories to better report out status of operations and impacts to
the County DEM in an emergency event.

5.2 Component Analysis
During an emergency response, determining your Community Lifelines condition, and
communicating the information to your community and to the County EOC will be a key
activity. The following information will help your staff quickly assess and report conditions.
Based on FEMA’s Lifelines doctrine, a simple methodology for determining Lifeline
conditions follows: the condition of each lifeline depends on the capability of the
underlying components, and is informed by situational awareness reports, impact
assessments, and engagement with partners across the public, private, and nonprofit
sectors.
Once the condition of a Community Lifeline is determined, the status of each lifeline is
represented by one of four colors: red, yellow, green, and grey, known as a Condition
Designation. Red indicates severe challenges and obstacles preventing the lifeline from
functioning. Yellow indicates disruptions or limitations to the lifeline preventing it from
fully functioning. Green indicates the lifeline is mostly functioning as it was prior to the
incident. Finally, grey indicates the lifeline status or extent of impacts is currently unknown.
Applying the following questions and understanding the incident is critical in determining
the condition of a Lifeline and components:
• Did the incident disrupt services provided by the component to survivors?
• What is the extent of the disruption and impact on response and survivors?
• Has a solution to the disruption been identified?
• Has that solution been converted into a plan of action?
• Has that plan of action been resourced?
• Are there factors worsening impacts to the community? If so, to what extent are
they limiting services?
• Are there contingency response solutions in place? How long until emergency
repairs are completed?
• When can permanent repairs begin?
City of Arlington [Date]
44
• Did the incident create a surge demand exceeding component capabilities?
Lifeline components can be analyzed during response using six assessment categories that
capture essential information for response decision makers:
Categories Description
Component
Identify the component and subcomponents.
Status (what?)
Summarizing the root cause(s) of disruption to lifeline services – keep asking
“why?” until the root cause(s) are identified.
Impacts (so what?)
Explain the disaster impacts to specific communities, disaster survivors, and
response operations. Detail how the survivor experience or response operation
will improve if this component is addressed. Specify the impacted areas and
population totals.
Actions (now what?)
Describe the actions that are being taken to address the disrupted services.
Summarize the most critical actions being taken across the whole community.
Limiting Factors
(what’s the gap?)
Express issues that are preventing services from being re-established. Such
issues can stem from another lifeline/component, resource shortfall,
management, policy, etc.
Established Time to Status
Change / Re-establishment
Requirements (when?)
Provide current component condition or an estimated timeframe for when a
change in condition is expected.

6. Concept of Operations
6.1 Disaster Authorities and Plans
6.1.1 Disaster Response Priorities
City of Arlington [Date]
46
Disaster response priorities represent the highest priorities for City of Arlington. While
each disaster will have different operational priorities, these priorities serve as guidance
for what the City of Arlington considers most important to address during a disaster:
• Save lives and protect the health and safety of the public, responders, and
recovery workers.
• Stabilize the incident to return to normal as soon as possible.
• Protect property and mitigate damages and impacts to the community and the
environment.
• Protect and restore critical infrastructure and key resources.
• Facilitate the economic recovery of individuals, families, businesses, government,
and the environment.
6.1.2 Operational Changes During a Disaster
Non-emergency and non-essential governmental functions may be suspended during a
disaster to allocate resources for emergency operations.
With an emergency proclamation, normal procurement procedures may be waived to
speed up the acquisition of equipment or supplies. Procurement procedures are discussed
in the City of Arlington Finance Policy.
The County and each municipal government, unless otherwise delegated, will retain the
authority and responsibility for direction and control within its political subdivision of its
own disaster operations. This includes use of local resources and application of mutual aid.
During emergencies, certain agencies may relocate their center of control to the City of
Arlington EOC. During large scale disasters, this may become the seat of local government
during the duration of the crisis.
6.1.3 Continuity of Operations and Government
The City of Arlington will be developing a Continuity of Operations Plan (COOP) in 2026
which will contain departmental information on essential personnel and functions,
communications, alternate facilities, and essential records that are necessary for
maintenance and reconstitution of department functions.
The City of Arlington will be developing a Continuity of Government (COG) Plan in 2026
which will identify how the City of Arlington’s legal, constitutional, and ethical
responsibilities will be continued, preserved, maintained, delegated, and/or reconstituted
for all City of Arlington departments.
6.1.4 Department Operations
It is the policy of City of Arlington that each department plan and develop shared
emergency operation guidelines complementary to this Annex. The Arlington Airport has
created and maintains an Emergency Operations Plan. Other departments have standard
operating procedures that have been established over time as the City has responded to
various emergencies. Contingent plans have been established to keep essential
City of Arlington [Date]
47
government functions at the department level. The EOC will most likely function virtually
to allow departments to address concerns at their own locations while keeping
communications with all other departments. Departments and the emergency plans
encourage personnel to be prepared at home and the office and communicate this need
and provide resources annually.

The EOC location is designed to be housed in the Council Chambers, but is mobile and
could be moved to our other facility locations (Airport, Public Works Administration
Building or function virtually) if needed.
With the DOC model only the Emergency Manager, PIO and Finance will report to the EOC
physically. The Department Directors or their successor will check in virtually to the
Emergency Operations Teams site.
6.2 Authority to Activate
6.2.1 City of Arlington EOC Activation
City of Arlington [Date]
51
The EOC will be activated to support response or recovery operations when the scope or
scale of an emergency surpasses the capacity to be managed from a field incident
command post. Persons authorized to activate the EOC:
• Mayor
• City Administrator
• Police Chief
• Fire Chief – North County
• Public Works Director
• Airport Director
• Field Incident Commander
• Emergency Manager
Activation of the City of Arlington EOC will necessitate a notification directly, or through 911,
to the Snohomish County Duty Officer or the Snohomish County EOC, if activated.
Snohomish County will advise applicable local, State, and Federal agencies of the activation.
6.2.2 Snohomish County EOC Activation
Activation of the Snohomish County EOC is authorized by DEM leadership or the County
Executive. A jurisdiction may request that the County EOC be activated through the Duty
Officer. DEM will notify all jurisdictions of County EOC activations. Automatic activation of
the County EOC is as follows:
1. A magnitude 5.0 or higher earthquake occurs within Snohomish County.
2. A commercial passenger plane crashes within Snohomish County.
3. A military aircraft crashes within the urban areas of Snohomish County.
4. A High Hazard Potential Dam failure is imminent or has occurred.
5. Other incidents requiring complex intergovernmental coordination such as mass care
public information or an ongoing need to assist multiple jurisdictions or agencies with
incident coordination support.
Factors that increase the need for County EOC activation include:
a. Atypical weather conditions such as winds from the west, extreme heat or record
precipitation levels.
b. Incident likely to cross county boundaries, for example, Bolt Creek Fire.
c. Limited or state controlled resources, for example, Covid vaccines.
d. Multiple cities/towns/tribes activating their EOC or requesting that DEM activate
the SCEOC on their behalf.
e. Complicated transit needs such as mass evacuation or mass casualty.
6.2.3 Activation Levels
City of Arlington [Date]
52
The activation level of City of Arlington’s EOC is commensurate to the situation and need
for coordination and support. Activation levels listed below are the levels used by
Snohomish County EOC and the Washington State EOC. The descriptions provide a general
sense of the staff, time, and support necessary at each level:
Activation Level Description
3 – Normal Operations
Daily operations are monitored and managed by applicable jurisdiction department
head(s) and staff. On-call staff (such as Duty Officers) handle “daily emergency” needs.
2 – Partial Activation
Some EOC positions are filled to monitor and support operations. EOC may be activated
for multiple operational periods, but rarely 24/7.
1 – Full Activation
All EOC positions are filled to monitor and support operations. EOC is typically activated
24/7 over multiple operational periods. State and/or Federal involvement in response
and recovery.
6.2.4 EOC Activation Considerations
During an activation City of Arlington may:
• Place staff on standby and increase situation monitoring.
• Activate/staff local EOC or Incident Command Post (ICP) as appropriate to manage
preparedness/response activities.
• Emergency response agencies (fire, law enforcement, public works, etc.) may add
more shift staff to cover the anticipated impact of the emergency.
• Notify potentially threatened areas using local resources in conjunction with
Snohomish County DEM.
• Coordinate public/media information releases with the Snohomish County Joint
Information Center (JIC).
6.2.5 Emergency Proclamation Authority
When a disaster exceeds or is expected to exceed the jurisdiction’s capabilities, the Mayor
or City Administrator of the City of Arlington may issue a local proclamation of emergency
and request additional assistance through Snohomish County DEM. If the disaster should
exceed the capabilities of Snohomish County, the County Executive may issue a local
proclamation of emergency and request additional assistance through Washington State
Emergency Management Division.
City of Arlington [Date]
53
6.2.6 Emergency Proclamation Process
The proclamation will be made in writing, signed by the Mayor or designee and filed with
the City Clerk . It shall include a clear statement of the nature of the emergency or disaster,
affected areas and powers being activated.
The proclamation shall be activated for 30 days unless ended or extended by the Mayor.
Each extension shall be made in writing and filed, shared and communicated similarly to
the original proclamation.
The City of Arlington Mayor or designee assisted by the Emergency Manager or Incident
Commander, shall be responsible for the preparation of Emergency Proclamations.
Proclamations shall be made in writing using template (See Appendix B-H) and notify the
Snohomish County Duty Officer or Snohomish County EOC if activated and submit the
proclamation via email or other form of written notification.
The City staff will be notified of the emergency declaration through email or departmental
communications and be put on notice that they may be required to deploy to work
depending on the evolving situation.
The public shall be notified of the proclamation through social media, post on the City
website, notification through the RAVE emergency notification system, news releases and
posting at public buildings or other accessible locations (RCW 38.52.070 (3)(a)(i)
6.2.7 City of Arlington Communication Procedures
Internal Communications Plan
Currently the City utilizes email, phone, text and Microsoft Teams for notifications,
meetings and document sharing for emergency events. Notifications include immediate
actions to take, check-in status, work schedule changes and warnings of upcoming events
when possible. Notifications are generally sent by communications staff with approval by
the City Administrator or Mayor. Department Directors can send notifications to their own
staff as needed for specific events.
The City is working on new programs for alerting employees to emergency events at their
desks, in the field or working remotely and from home. Arlington is working with
Snohomish County DEM to obtain access to the Rave Mobile Safety Alert system so
employees can receive notifications on their work phones via phone, text, and email.
Employees may also sign up for personal email notifications, personal phone calls and
personal text options. Notifications can be sent to specific groups, individuals, or all City
staff.
External Communications Plan
The Emergency Manager will report to Snohomish County DEM through the Duty Officer
line and email needs and situational awareness updates through the Sno Co EOC Logistics
and Planning groups respectively.
City of Arlington [Date]
54
The City Administrator or delegate will be in contact with North County Regional Fire
Authority for operational updates or EOC support if needed.
The City would put out communications on social media channels, email list servs and on
the City website. Information would be aligned with any County, State and/or Federal
notification information. Actions to be taken will be provided and updates and notifications
of timing of updates would be shared as well. Community message boards located at City
Hall and the Highlands and community groups would be leveraged as well. In the event of
internet or phone disruption, the City would lean into community and neighborhood
groups to spread the word.
6.2.8 County Communication Procedures
While activated, the Snohomish County EOC can be contacted via phone, email, Microsoft
Teams, and various radio bands, assuming phone lines, radio towers, and internet are
operational. During an EOC activation DEM may not be able to monitor each
communication method, especially if the incident is widespread or catastrophic. Below is a
list of communication methods in order of preference if the County EOC is activated:
Phone: Jurisdictions can call the EOC by directly contacting a section or ESF, (specific lines are
provided upon activation), contacting DEM main line, or through the Duty Officer line.
Email: Partners can email any section or ESF directly (specific e mails are provided upon activation),
emailing DEM’s email (dem@snoco.org), or the Duty Officer email.
Microsoft Teams: The EOC uses Microsoft Teams to coordinate information sharing throughout the
county. Incident specific teams are created for each EOC activation.
Radio: The EOC can be contacted via DEM HAIL on the 800MHz public safety radio system, multiple
repeaters on the VHF network (frequency programming provided on www.wa7dem.info), or
amateur radio on the Granite Falls 146.920MHz repeater (156.7Hz tone) for licensed users.
Outside of an EOC activation, all jurisdictions should contact the Duty Officer for
emergency information or logistics needs. Partners should contact the Duty Officer by
phone or email to submit a logistics request. There is no formal form required outside of
an activation. The Duty Officer maintains similar communication methods as during an EOC
activation but does not constantly monitor DEM VHF or amateur radio. Below is the list of
communications methods to the Duty Officer in order of preference:
Phone:Partners should call the Duty Officer 24/7 for any emergency support.
Email:Partners can email the Duty Officer during daytime hours for emergency support. Duty
Officer email is monitored 7 days per week, but not overnight. Emails requiring immediate
attention should be accompanied by a phone call to the Duty Officer.
City of Arlington [Date]
55
Microsoft Teams:DEM has invited the jurisdictions to a Duty Officer Coordination Team, allowing
for real-time sharing of information between all partners outside of an EOC activation. Similar to
email, if a Teams message requires immediate attention, it should be accompanied by a phone
call to the Duty Officer.
Radio:
regular business/operating hours. After hours, if a partner does not have phone capability, DEM
HAIL is monitored by Sno911 who will contact the Duty Officer.
Other communications systems that DEM uses or monitors:
• Mass Notification: The EOC uses Rave Mobile Safety to push out mass
emergency alerts to the public via phone calls, the Emergency Alert System
(EAS), and Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA).
• WebEOC: When Snohomish County EOC is unable to fulfill resource requests or
when Washington State requires it, DEM will use WebEOC to send resource
requests to the State EOC. DEM can monitor WebEOC to receive requests from
jurisdictions who use WebEOC.
6.2.9 County Joint Information System
Public information should be coordinated and integrated, before (if possible), during and
after an emergency or disaster. The County coordinates information through ESF 15 using a
Joint Information System (JIS). The JIS provides the mechanism to organize, integrate, and
coordinate information to ensure timely, accurate, accessible, and consistent messaging
with Public Information Officers across multiple jurisdictions, federal partners, county
government, nongovernmental organizations, and the private sector.
In response to most events, public information activities are often carried out by the lead
response agency in coordination with other organizations through the JIS. The JIS helps
communications staff accomplish their mission by facilitating coordination, helping to avoid
conflicting messages by focusing on one or two key messages, using talking points,
designating spokesperson(s), and speaking about one’s own agency/program/service.
JIS operations are accomplished, physically or virtually, through the Joint Information
Center (JIC) within the County EOC. The County JIC can be activated by request of the City
of Arlington to support and coordinate public information before, during, and after an
emergency or disaster.
The JIC can assist in the following:
• Creating consistent countywide messaging across all partners involved in the
disaster.
• Handling public information requests.
• Creating and disseminating public information through a variety of media.
City of Arlington [Date]
56
• Maintaining a central point of information for the County known as the Public
Safety Hub.
• Creating and vetting all alert and warning messaging.
6.2.10 Emergency Alert and Warning
Emergency alert and warning systems are designed to allow public safety officials to warn
the public of potential or current threats or emergencies. Public alerts and warnings may
be issued for events that necessitate shelter-in-place, evacuation, or other protective
actions for life safety or property preservation. Snohomish County DEM will make a good
faith effort to contact a jurisdiction prior to any mass notification in their boundaries. DEM
or Sno911 may issue an alert without making contact if there is concern for immediate life
safety.
Jurisdictions can request an emergency alert be issued via the Sno911 Supervisor,
Snohomish County Duty Officer (if the Snohomish County EOC is not activated), or the EOC
Manager (when the Snohomish County EOC is activated).
All interlocal agreement jurisdictions can use Rave Mobile Safety to support mass internal
notifications of their employees or partners. These alerts will not go to the public but can
be used to recall employees or volunteers.
6.2.11 Mitigation
The Snohomish County Hazard Mitigation Plan (HMP) assesses 13 hazards affecting the
county and greater region. Mitigation action items for risk reduction are identified both at
the county level and within each participating jurisdiction. Arlington has a 2020 HMP and
will operate under that plan until a successor plan is completed. Snohomish County
updates the HMP on a 5-year cycle, the next update is planned for 2025, with approval in
2026. City of Arlington is assisting in updating the County’s base plan in 2025 and in 2026
will work with the County in developing or updating a local annex.
6.2.12 Preparedness
Preparedness activities develop operational capabilities in advance of an emergency to
alleviate the impacts of disasters and protect people, property and infrastructure from
threats and hazards. City of Arlington should develop, train, and exercise jurisdictional-
specific disaster and emergency operations plans. These plans should be tailored to the
capabilities of City of Arlington and not exceed or commit the jurisdiction to capabilities
they are unable to meet. Coordination with the County provides additional support to fill
gaps within capabilities of City of Arlington.
The City of Arlington participates in regular trainings in local utility operations, information
technology, wildfire and general preparedness. Tabletop exercises for flooding, earthquake
and volcanic threats are planned for 2026. A local public emergency preparedness
campaign ran throughout 2025 and an employee preparedness campaign is scheduled for
2026.
City of Arlington [Date]

The City engages with other entities through regular meeting and planning events for:
• Mount Baker/Glacier Peak Volcanic Awareness and Planning
• Snohomish County Emergency Advisory Board
• South Whidbey Island Fault (SWIF) 27 Exercise Planning
• Hazard Mitigation planning
• Continuity of Operations meetings at the County and State levels
• Emergency Managers of Snohomish County meetings
• Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) program
The City is developing other emergency plans that support preparedness efforts:
• The Emergency Action Plan – will focus on protecting employees and infrastructure
during emergencies, including evacuation procedures and safety protocols. An
Emergency Action Plan has an anticipated completion year of 2027.
• The Emergency Operations Plan – will define roles, responsibilities and
communications protocols for coordinated response and recovery. An Emergency
Operations Plan has an anticipated completion year of 2027.
• The Continuity of Operations Plan (COOP) will establish essential services and
personnel in a disaster that will minimize disruption of services and create
resilience of systems across many possible hazards. The COOP has an anticipated
completion year of 2026.
• The Continuity of Governance (COG) will establish principles and practices that will
allow the government to continue its essential operations in case of a catastrophic
event. The COOP has an anticipated completion year of 2026.
6.2.13 Response
Response activities take place immediately before, during and after emergencies or
disasters to save lives and minimize damage to property, the environment, and the
economy. Specific response roles are described in this Annex in Section 4. Organization,
Roles, and Responsibilities. Continuity Of Operations (COOP) and Continuity of
Governance (COG) documents are in development, but procedures to identify and
maintain essential functions are established in past practices and this document.
Windshield surveys are being developed to use throughout the City to align with reporting
out on the Community Lifeline status in response to an event.
6.2.14 Recovery
Recovery activities are pre-disaster planning activities that assist the community to
efficiently start the recovery process. Snohomish County developed a Disaster Recovery
Framework, based on the National Disaster Recovery Framework, to outline the roles that
City of Arlington [Date]
58
community groups, local governments, tribes, state and federal agencies, and nonprofit
organizations would undertake to foster local recovery.
As part of its preparedness strategy, the City of Arlington is incorporating recovery-focused
planning to ensure a swift and coordinated return to normal operations following a
disaster. The development of the COOP and COG Plans will support early recovery by
preserving essential records, identifying alternate facilities, and maintaining continuity of
leadership and services. These efforts align with Snohomish County’s Disaster Recovery
Framework and will enable the City to work collaboratively with local organizations,
businesses, and government partners to restore infrastructure, support community needs,
and accelerate long-term recovery.
7. Administration, Documentation, and Resourcing
7.1 Administration
During emergency operations, non-essential administrative activities may be suspended.
Personnel not assigned to essential duties may be assigned to other departments to provide
support services.
It is the policy of City of Arlington that each department will assign personnel responsible for the
documentation of disaster activities and costs. Documentation overall for the City is the
responsibility of the City Clerk.
7.2 Documentation
All organizations with disaster responsibilities should establish and maintain files of disaster-
related directives, forms, and paperwork, including fiscal documentation, aligned with State
records retention law. Documentation allows City of Arlington to submit reimbursements and
recover costs, create historical records, apply for grants, address insurance needs, develop
mitigation measures, highlight practices to continue, and identify areas for improvement.
Documentation by each jurisdiction contributes to the overall ability of the County and State to
request support from the Federal government.
7.2.1 Essential Files
Essential files include, but are not limited to:
• Sign-in sheets/staffing patterns
• Media Releases
• Situation Reports
• Emergency Action Plans
• Proclamations of Emergency
• Requests for Assistance
• Damage Observation and Assessment Reports
• Financial Documentation (including receipts, payroll records, contracts, etc.)
• After-Action Reports
7.3 After-Action Report
City of Arlington [Date]
59
After-action reports (AAR) create a permanent historical record of the incident and are used to
evaluate processes, procedures, and actions pertaining to the response and recovery of an
event. AARs include information identifying the actions taken, resources expended, economic
and human impacts, and lessons learned because of the disaster. AARs are essential to seeking
reimbursement and can assist in supporting mitigation efforts and funding. City of Arlington’s
Emergency Manager, in conjunction with DEM, is responsible for soliciting input and conducting
an after-action review with each department involved in the disaster. The Emergency Manager is
responsible for ensuring completion of the after-action review items.
AARs inform future preparedness, mitigation, planning, training, and exercise efforts through
narratives and improvement plans. These actions can include updating this Annex, plans,
replacing resources, and augmenting personnel.
7.4 Resources Assessment Section
7.4.1 Resources
It is the policy of City of Arlington that all departments prepare and maintain an updated
account of its personnel, facilities, and equipment resources to be reviewed annually. Single or
multiple resources may be called upon during disaster operations.
The private and nonprofit sectors are an important part of any disaster response and recovery.
Businesses and nonprofits including faith-based organizations (FBOs), community-based
organizations (CBOs), and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) provide valuable intelligence
and resources before, during, and after a disaster.
Below is a high-level overview of jurisdictional resources that can be used for emergency or
disaster response purposes:

various departments in routine services and could be deployed for
emergency services from their home location.
Technologies/Platform City of Arlington maintains technologies and platforms that support
services and communications between City staff and the general public.
Security and safety are top priorities within technology services and
maintaining the City systems is key to daily and emergency support
throughout. The City utilized the Microsoft Suite of products, Teams for
communications both virtual and for phone systems. Finance and
Payroll use the Caselle platform for budget and payroll. Public Works
uses Elements for equipment. Police use Plan it for scheduling and Blue
Beam for internal processes. CED uses IWorks for permitting and
Laserfiche for document storage.

7.4.2 Disaster Expenditures
Emergency and disaster expenditures are not a normal item in the budgeting process of
local governments. Some departments may include disaster preparedness and mitigation
items in their budget already (e.g., sand for flooding or deicer for winter roads).
Nevertheless, disasters may occur which require a jurisdiction to spend substantial, but
necessary, unanticipated obligations and expenditures. There are programs available to
local jurisdictions, and their residents, to recover some of the cost associated with a
disaster including Public and Individual Assistance, Small Business Administration
programs, and insurance programs. To be eligible for these programs, jurisdictions and
residents must maintain diligent records of expenses related to the disaster.
The Finance Director or designee shall develop effective administrative methods to keep
and retain detailed records distinguishing disaster operational activities and expenditures
and delineate them from routine or general programs, activities, and expenditures. At a
minimum, cost records should include personnel time and overtime, resources used,
donations, volunteer contributions, mutual aid, and contracts initiated. The Finance
Director or designee shall provide documentation processes and training to all personnel
involved in the disaster.
7.4.3 Post-Disaster Assistance
Post-disaster assistance is financial reimbursement provided by the State and/or Federal
government for costs directly caused by a disaster or emergency. There is no guarantee of
post-disaster assistance by Washington State and/or the Federal government, after a
locally proclaimed emergency. If provided, post-disaster assistance is offered through the
following methods:
Public Assistance (PA) – disaster assistance provided by the federal government and
periodically the state to public entities including tribes, state, county and municipal
governments, and certain nonprofits that provide essential public service.
Individual Assistance (IA) – federal and/or state assistance to the public who sustained
damage from a federally declared disaster. Individual Assistance only covers a portion of
damages and is not meant to replace insurance. There is also assistance available for
individuals who have become unemployed because of a disaster.
Small Business Administration (SBA) – eligible businesses and nonprofits that are
impacted by the disaster may be eligible for recovery loans from the SBA. Regardless of
size, eligible businesses may apply for SBA loans for both physical damage and economic
loss. SBA’s Disaster Loan Program is not exclusively for small businesses. SBA loans are also
available for damage to private property owned by individuals and families not fully
covered by insurance.
City of Arlington [Date]
62
Other Needs Assistance (ONA) – income-dependent assistance for personal property.
Some items are only eligible after individuals are denied SBA assistance (including loans);
other items are not contingent on SBA denial.
8. Annex Development, Training, Exercise, and Maintenance
Overall development and maintenance of this Annex is the responsibility of City of Arlington.
This Annex, and any appendices, are reviewed, reevaluated, and updated once every five years
by the Human Resources Director. Review and revision is conducted in collaboration with County
DEM. This Annex should be updated based on lessons learned as a result of real-world
emergencies or through training or exercises. Primary departments or supporting agencies will
be responsible for maintenance of sections of the Annex related to their assigned function.
Revision may result from or include:
• New procedures, policies, or technologies.
• Lessons learned from a real-world incident or exercise(s).
• Feedback during training or case study review.
• To accommodate new organizations or organizational structures.
Training and exercises are conducted at least annually in conjunction with DEM. An exercise may
be substituted for a real-world activation (planned or unplanned). All final revisions are
submitted to WA EMD for review and approval. This Annex will be made publicly available on the
Snohomish County Department of Emergency Management’s website.

Appendix A - City Infrastructure Information
As of 2023, the Washington State Office of Financial Management (OFM) estimated the City of
Arlington’s population at 21,740 – about 2.5% of Snohomish County’s total population. This represents a
growth of 22% since 2010 and nine percent since 2020 (20% and four percent for the same periods,
countywide).
The City’s age distribution is similar to that of the County. According to the American Community Survey
(ACS), Arlington’s median age is 37, compared to age 39 countywide. Arlington has a population
consisting of roughly 25% children (population under age 18), while the County has 22% children. 13% of
Arlington’s population is age 65 and over while 15% of the County’s population is over the age of 65. The
County has slightly more residents ranging from age 18 to 34, with 22% of the total population,
compared to the City’s 21% age 18 to 34.
The City’s residential population is slightly less racially diverse than that of the County. While 72% of
Arlington is white and non-Hispanic, that number is 63% in Snohomish County. About 15% of Arlington
residents are Hispanic or Latino and about 10% are of two or more races.
Water
Water supply to the City of Arlington is provided by: one treatment plant that receives water from two
groundwater wells within the Haller Wellfield, which are under the direct influence of surface water; a
groundwater well within the Airport Wellfield; and wholesale water purchased from the Snohomish
County PUD No. 1 (PUD). Water storage is provided by two reservoirs that have a total capacity of 4.0
million gallons (MG). In addition, the City’s water system has four primary pressure zones with nine
pressure reducing valves, one booster pump station and approximately 114.1 miles of water mains.
The City’s water utility is staffed by nine treatment and distribution staff serving under the Utilities
Manager. In 2024, the City provided service to more than 5,900 customer connections, or about 9,200
equivalent residential units (ERUs), within the City’s retail water service area (WSA), which extends
beyond the City limits as defined in the North Snohomish County Coordinated Water System Plan
(updated 2024).
The City limits comprise an area of approximately 9.7 square miles, whereas the existing retail WSA is
approximately 25.3 square miles. The 2023 population within the City limits was 21,740, while water
service was provided to approximately 18,739 people throughout the WSA. Total water production for
residential, commercial, and industrial uses was 634.724 MG, or an overall demand of 93 gallons per
person served. At one time much of the water distribution system in the downtown area and near the
airport consisted of asbestos cement water mains that were was constructed from the 1950s through
City of Arlington [Date]
64
the 1970s. The typical life expectancy of the older AC water mains is generally 50 years. However,
corrosion within water mains has been greatly reduced through the development of cement mortar
lined ductile iron pipe, which has a life expectancy in excess of 75 years. A large portion of these older
water mains have been replaced within the last 30-40 years. The City is implementing its plan to replace
the remaining 2.7 miles of older AC water mains within the next 5 years.
Sewer
Arlington owns and operates its sewer utility under a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
(NPDES) Permit. It is managed by the Wastewater Department under the City’s Public Works’ Utilities
Division. The City’s wastewater utility consists of 10 treatment and collections staff serving under the
Utilities Manager. The sewer utility service area includes the city limits and UGA with the exception of a
portion of the Smokey Point neighborhood that is served by the City of Marysville. The total sewer
service area is approximately 9.59 square miles with a population of approximately 16,159. In 2024,
there are 4,652 residential customer connections and 487 connections serving commercial, industrial,
and institutional customers. The City’s sewer system is comprised of a 4.0 MGD Water Reclamation
Facility (WRF) that is currently permitted to treat 2.67 MGD. Membrane filtration, biological nutrient
removal, and ultraviolet disinfection processes produce effluent of Class A or B reclaimed water quality.
Collections staff maintain 2,034 manholes, 71.5 miles of gravity collection mains, and 15 pump stations
which feed 8.75 miles of pressurized force mains. Biosolids are off-hauled and land applied in Eastern
Washington. Most of the City is served by sewer. Some existing older homes throughout the city (mainly
areas within the Smokey Point Subarea and West Bluff Subarea) are still connected to septic. These
homes have sewer readily available with extensions and are required to connect to sewer when the
septic tank fails or when redevelopment of the property is proposed. Within the city limits there are two
areas where sewer service is only available with major extensions and improvements. These areas
include the neighborhood of Boyden and the East Hill Subarea. The property owners within the Boyden
tracts are required to extend and provide sewer prior to allowing for higher density development. The
property owners within the East Hill Subarea are required to provide a subarea plan meeting and
required to extend and provide sewer prior to development. The City’s current expansion plans do
include capacity for the future connection of the East Hill Subarea properties when a subarea plan is
developed by private developers.
Stormwater
The City of Arlington owns and operates its stormwater Utility to maintain the City’s stormwater
drainage system, protect its water resources and assure full implementation of the City’s NPDES Phase II
stormwater permit, as issued by the Department of Ecology. The Stormwater Utility has two full time
technical stormwater staff who report to the Utilities Manager. Supporting services are provided by
Maintenance and Operations Department (street sweeping and shared maintenance of storm
infrastructure) and the Wastewater Department (maintenance of storm infrastructure). The Stormwater
Utility has prepared, and the City of Arlington has adopted, a Comprehensive Stormwater Plan (SCP)
which is incorporated into this Plan by reference. The City of Arlington sits within two surface water
basins, the Stillaguamish River basin to the north and the Snohomish River basin to the south.
Stormwater collected in the City’s drainage structures is either discharged to surface waters or infiltrated
into the ground. Stormwater infrastructure includes: 83.7 miles of City streets; 4,563 catch basins and
stormwater manholes; 52.9 miles of stormwater conveyance pipes; 18.9 miles of ditches and swales; 3.0
City of Arlington [Date]
65
miles of culverts; 206 detention basins; more than 34 rain gardens and bioswales; 71 outfalls to surface
waters, and three stormwater wetlands. The inventory of these features is included in the SCP and also
incorporated in the City’s GIS asset management database.
Airport
The Arlington Municipal Airport is part of the National Plan of Integrated Systems (NPIAS), as well as of
the transportation infrastructure serving the City of Arlington, Snohomish County, and the northern
portion of the Seattle-Tacoma Metropolitan Area. The Airport is located north of the Seattle-Tacoma
Metropolitan Area, approximately three miles southwest of the Arlington Old Town Business District,
approximately one-third of a mile from the Highway Commercial District, and twelve miles north of the
City of Everett. It is owned and operated by the City of Arlington and is contained within the corporate
boundaries of the City. The airport is 1,200 acres and includes industrial, commercial, and public land
uses, in addition to the aviation operations. The majority of the existing general aviation facilities are
located along the east side of Runway 16/34, between 59th Avenue NE and Taxiway “A”. This part of the
airport is developed with aircraft storage facilities, including over 400 T-hangars and apron area to
accommodate over eighty tiedown spaces. The City of Arlington owns 108 of the existing T-hangars.
There is also a Fixed Base Operator (FBO), and several maintenance, and individually owned aircraft
storage hangars throughout this area. Additional general aviation facilities are developed along the
southwest side of Runway 11/29. These facilities include tie-down apron space for aircrafts and
complexes of several new business-related aircraft storage hangars. The existing ultra-light hangar
complex is in the northwest quadrant of the airport and has storage for approximately 62 aircraft. There
are approximately 600 aircraft based at the airport (including 12 helicopters, 20 gliders, and 23
ultralights). The airport’s hangar occupancy rate is 100 percent currently. There is significant demand for
the additional aircraft storage facilities (approximately 40 aircraft owners are on file requesting space).
The Airport is home to one of the largest “Fly-Ins” in the Northwest -- The Arlington Fly-In.
The Airport has sufficient area to accommodate both aviation and non-aviation development in the
Cascade Industrial Center which includes the airport. There are over 200 businesses on airport property
that lease land and/or facilities from the City. Approximately 25% of these businesses involve aviation or
aviation-related uses associated with the airport the remaining businesses are non-aviation.
Electricity
The City of Arlington is served by the Snohomish County Public Utilities District No. 1 (PUD). One PUD-
owned generating resource is the Arlington Microgrid Solar Array located east of the Arlington Municipal
Airport. This facility “is a demonstration testbed for several interconnected distributed energy
technologies that are constructed to be self-sustaining if disconnected from the electrical grid at large”.
This new local PUD office will serve northern Snohomish County and act as a staging area for recovery in
the event of a large-scale disruption. PUD has partnered with 3rd Party Provider to install and operate a
Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) within the Cascade Industrial Center, east of the Arlington
Municipal Airport, at the PUD Arlington Campus. The BESS facility is proposed to be constructed in
2025/2026.
Puget Sound Energy (PSE) owns and maintains a transmission corridor in the City of Arlington that
transports electricity across the City. This corridor, which extends in a north-south direction on the east
side of Arlington, contains two transmissions lines: the “Beverly – Beaver Lake” 115 kV line and the
City of Arlington [Date]
66
“Sedro Woolley – SCL Bothell” 230 kV line. These transmission lines serve the energy needs of areas to
the north and south of Snohomish County. Under certain conditions, PSE's transmission line could
support the local distribution grid by providing emergency back up to Snohomish PUD's system

ORDINANCE NO. 2026-XXX
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF ARLINGTON, WASHINGTON RELATING TO MOBILE FOOD
UNITS
WHEREAS, permitted and licensed food vendors are required to obtain food-service
permits, receive education regarding safe food handling, storage, and preparation, and are
subject to routine inspections to ensure compliance with applicable health and safety
standards; and
WHEREAS, the Snohomish County Health Department is authorized to inspect and
respond to unpermitted food vendors but has limited enforcement capability with respect to
ongoing operations within the City of Arlington; and
WHEREAS, unpermitted food vendors operate without the required permits or
inspections and therefore without verification that they possess the necessary power, potable
water, sanitation, cleaning facilities, and temperature-control capabilities required to safely
store, prepare, and handle food for sale to the public; and
WHEREAS, the operation of unpermitted food vendors undermines compliance with
established food-safety and licensing requirements, creates unfair competition for properly
permitted vendors, diminishes incentives to adhere to rigorous health standards, and poses a
risk to public health and safety; and
WHEREAS, existing enforcement tools available to the Snohomish County Health
Department and the City of Arlington are insufficient, standing alone, to deter or promptly
address the continued operation of unpermitted food vendors within the City, necessitating
additional local regulatory measures to ensure compliance with food-safety requirements and
prevent the spread of foodborne illnesses; and
WHEREAS, the regulation of mobile food units and unpermitted food vending activity
within the City is consistent with, and intended to complement, applicable state and local public
health laws, regulations, and food-safety codes, including those governing food service
permitting, inspection, and sanitation standards; and
WHEREAS, the City of Arlington has the authority and responsibility to provide for the
punishment of all practices dangerous to public health or safety, and to make necessary for the
preservation of public health, peace, and good order, and to provide for the punishment of all
persons charged with violating any city ordinance.

2026 Utility Projects - Current Status
Projects in Construction
1. Kubota Program for MBR – Complete, operational, and program bugs worked out.
2. MBR Blower Installation – Installation of two turbo blowers is complete and operational.
3. WTP New PLC & SCADA Update – The PLC and the new SCADA program, System Platform, are installed and training
has started on July 13th, it is anticipated that training will take two weeks (complete by end of July).
4. 640 Booster Pump – The project as contracted is complete. Additional work is needed in the potable water delivery
piping to increase flows from 1,100 GPM to 1,600 GPM.
5. Haller South Wellfield Basket Strainer - Well #3 at the Haller wellfield is the City’s oldest operating potable water
well and the well screen is starting to develop large holes that allow gravel and small rocks to enter into the
pumping system. This material flows up to the plant where the rocks and gravel damage instrumentation at the
water treatment plant (flow monitors, valves, actuators, etc.). Staff coordinated with the Dept of Health and
installed a basket strainer on the raw water line leaving Haller wellfield which seemed to fix the issue.
6. 67th Ave Sewer Main Upsizing, Phase 1 – Project starting on July 27th, completion is scheduled for Oct 25th; the
project was originally scheduled to start July 20th but there was a delay in manufacturing time of SS manholes. This
project entails replacing the existing 12” and 15” sewer main in 67th Ave from 204th St to Woodlands Way, due to the
length of this project, it will be constructed in two phases. Phase 1 will extend a 24” diameter sewer main from
204th St to the BNSF railroad crossing, this sewer main will be installed in the 67th Ave north bound lane. Phase 2 will
extend the 24” diameter sewer main beneath the BNSF railroad and then to Woodlands Way. 67th Ave is a major N-
S travel corridor for east Arlington, approximately 10,000 vehicles travel this road daily. To complete the Phase 1
work, north bound 67th Ave traffic will be detoured onto 191st St/Arlington Valley Road; the 67th Ave south bound
lane will remain open. Please see attached project traffic control plans.
7. 2026 Utility Iron Raising – Project currently under construction, contractor is completing this work during the course
of the summer. Two manholes scheduled for iron raising are located in the intersection of SR-9 and 204th St. Staff is
coordinating with WSDOT for a ROW permit; a Uniformed Police Officer (UPO) will be on site to control traffic
through the intersection during work. Please see attached map for 2026 utility iron raising locations.

the demolition of the current on-site, uninhabitable, residential house, to backfill and permanently close a shallow
potable well that served the house, and to secure the remaining outbuildings on the parcel.
9. Stillaguamish River Riparian Restoration – This is a joint project between the City of Arlington and the Snohomish
Conservation District (SCD). The SCD obtained a grant for this project that will remove dead and invasive species in
the Stillaguamish riparian zone that borders the Stormwater Wetland Park. Tree planting will start this winter.
Utility Projects out for Bid/Pending Bid
1. LS-11 Bid Package – Proposals were received and evaluated, Rainer Pumps and USEMCO scored the highest and has
been selected as the preferred premanufactured lift station provider. City staff is finalizing LS-11 design component
to develop a cost for contracting.
2. Prairie Creek & BNSF Bridge – The City received an invoice from BNSF, but the invoice date was past the grant period
of performance; staff is working with Washington State DEM for resolution.
Utility Projects in Design
1. WTP Expansion – City engineers are working with AWC Water Solutions, the filter train manufacturers, on the
premanufacturing submittal package. This work reviews and approves all of the equipment that will be included
with the filters (pumps, valves, actuators, blowers, VFD’s, etc.). As the AWC filter train submittal review process is
nearing completion, City engineers will begin working with BHC Engineers, the WTP Expansion design firm, and
making sure the filter trains are accurately integrated into the WTP Expansion design package. Once this is
complete, it will be on to the Department of Health for final review and then ready for bidding.
2. Haller South Wellfield Improvements – A Remote Input/Output (RIO) panel was designed for the Haller South
Wellfield and it is currently being manufactured, delivery date is July 31, 2026. The RIO panel will allow enhanced
communication at the Haller South Wellfield so that the three well pumps can be operated by VFD’s based on water
treatment plant demand. Sufficient capacity has been included in the RIO panel to allow for connection to Well #4
when it is up and operational.
3. Lift Station 11 Improvements – There are currently 2 contracts ongoing for this project, one is for LS-11 site work
and the other is for LS11 premanufactured sanitary sewer lift station. The site work Is being completed by RH2, it
will consist of making the current site ready to receive the new premanufactured lift station and also coordinating
continuation of operations when the new installation is installed. The other contractor, USEMCO, is working with
City staff to design a lift station that meets the expected growth in Island Crossing along with all security and
emergency power needs for continued operations during emergencies. It is expected that the premanufactured lift
station design will be completed in October, and a product will be delivered in late January 2027.
4. Biosolids Compost Facility Repurposing - Public works staff are engaged with Carletti & Associates architects to
redesign a portion of the north and south buildings into office spaces. The north building will be for the Arlington
Police impoundment building; the south building will be expanded for Sewer Collections office space. 100% design
package was received on July 17th.

6. SR-531 Widening Phase 3 – The SR-531 Widening project was funded by the connecting Washington program in
the amount of $39.3 million and planned to widen SR-531 from 43rd Ave. to 67th Ave. Unfortunately, funding ran
out and widening was limited to 43rd Ave. to 59th Ave; Phase three will widen SR531 from 59th Ave. to 67th Ave.
The City is preparing plans to solicit Washington state legislature to fund the completion of this project.
7. Division-Burke-Broadway – In exchange for Arlington’s support while seeking legislative funding for the SR-9 bridge
project, WSDOT agreed to install intersection controls at SR-9 & SR-530 and at SR-530 & Burke Ave. The City is
preparing plans to solicit Washington state legislature to fund the construction of roundabouts at these two
intersections.
Detail and Update on Operations and GIS Enterprise Activities
1. Cemetery Operations – As follows:
- The cemetery received an additional grounds worker, Bill Cochinella.
- Over the past year, the interment of cremated remains outpaced traditional interments; this
change is consistent with cemetery operations across the nation. City staff will work with the
Cemetery Board to make sure there are sufficient cremated remains interment options for the
future (10-year planning).
- The columbarium pavilion design, including foundations for six columbariums, has been
completed and it will go to ad on the Small Works Roster on July 28th.
2. Water Reclamation & Sewer Collections – As follows:
- One of the pumps at Lift Station 15 (LS-15) failed. It is under warranty and was returned to the
manufacturer – repairs are on going.
- Lift Station 9 (LS-9) volutes arrived and were installed, this project is now complete. We have
now finished rebuilds to LS-13, LS-05, LS-07 and LS-09.
- Lift Station 06 has received new check valves and volutes, installation is scheduled for August.
- Pretreatment team continues to work hard at implementing City’s Pretreatment Program. One
coffee company has an undersized grease interceptor and violates discharge on FOG, staff is
working with the company to correct this problem.
- The City of Arlington participated in a Capstone program through the University of Washington
where Master students modeled a continuous phosphorous monitoring program with
optimized alum injection point at the Water Reclamation Facility. They presented their finding
to Public Works and at the Western Washington Short School. Staff is looking to install the
recommendations in the 2027-2028 biennium.
- The Sewer Department has two seasonals helping out for six months, the seasonals, along with
one other FTE Sewer Collections worker are dedicated to cleaning Arlington’s sanitary sewers.
GIS updated the asset management mapping so that detailed tracking of task orders and pipes
cleaned for the 2026 season can be maintained.

3. Water Treatment & Water Distribution – As follows:
- New WTPO-1 Ivan Garcia started July 16th, the WTP is now fully staffed.
- The clearwell pump was repaired and is waiting for a plant slowdown to install the pump.
- The Chlorine generator had all parent cells replaced and put back in service, this was a major
overhaul on the chlorine system
- City staff submitted a complete Source Water Approval application for new Well #4 to the
Department of Health (DOH) in February. Due to retirements and delays in backfilling
vacancies, DOH is very under-staffed and it takes a long time for approval. A recent
conversation with DOH indicated that we should see approval in August.
4. Storm Activities – As follows:
- The Stormwater Department hired a seasonal worker for the summer, however he only stayed
for three weeks. Staff are currently interviewing new seasonal worker for the Stormwater
Department.
- Stormwater staff has been outreaching to residents of Sky Blue Estates to assist them with
maintenance of their stormwater pond. An introductory onsite meeting was held at the
stormwater pond with approximately 20 residents, a follow-up meeting to develop an action
plan is scheduled for August 23rd & 25th in the Stillaguamish conference room at the Public
Works Admin building.
- City staff have applied for and received a Hydraulic Permit to perform maintenance dredging
at several creeks/streams in Arlington. Work is being coordinated for with M&O An HPA
application has been submitted to Washington Dept of Fish & Wildlife.
- Stormwater staff is gearing up for the annual stormwater inlet cleaning. Due to many inlets
being on highly traveled roads, much of this work is night-time work.
5. GIS Activities:
- Worked with Novotx on troubleshooting some issues in Elements
- Fixed assets list (equipment) is still under review by Steering Committee
- Created 12, 24 and 36 month cleaning schedules for sewer pipes
- Katie participated in mock jury trial for AI at the AP Computer Science class at Arlington High
School April 20th. The students did an excellent job researching AI and presenting their cases.
- Ecology, along with USGS, WA DNR and WFW departments are building a new lidar-based
hydrography dataset for the State. Arlington participated in the pilot project on the
Stillaguamish Watershed (2024). For the Snohomish Watershed (2026), Liliana and Mike took
control points with the Topcon and Abe loaded those into Ecology’s online QA/QC viewer.
Liliana and Mike found two culverts that did not exist and added headwaters in Gleneagle that
Abe added to the data. Kudos to Mike, Abe and Liliana for their teamwork and getting the work
done (we only had a week!).

- Katie is assisting WAGISA ( WA State GIS Association) with the May state GIS Conference and is
participating in two panels – ‘GIS Career, How to Map It’ and ‘GIS vs IT or GIS with IT?’
-
5. GIS Activities (cont’d.):
- Katie is preparing a 4 part (15 minutes each) presentations for Council on GIS and asset
management to be presented as time allows.
- Liliana is preparing a set of data for EOC Population Island for Shawn to use during EOC events.
- Even though IT added more resources to the GIS server, we have over 20 years of GIS data
stored. In the middle of April the server was filling up so GIS staff started a deep clean. We are
bow below 78% full.

The chart below presents total sales tax revenues from January to June across recent
years:
The three largest sources of sales tax revenue are retail, services, and construction.
Below is a summary of their current performance:
• Retail
o Represents 45% of June’s total sales tax revenue.
o Experiencing an 8% increase from 2025 for June.
• Services
o Accounts for 23% of June’s total.

o Demonstrates consistent growth, experiencing a 15% increase from 2025
for June.
• Construction
o Contributes 15% of June’s total.
o Shows a 17% increase compared to June 2025.
Year‑to‑date through June, revenues reflect a 9% percent increase compared to 2025;
however, this falls short of the budgeted growth target of 12 percent. As a result, we
are not meeting our projected revenue levels for the General Fund’s largest revenue
source.
Although the Retail, Services, and Construction sectors are exhibiting
month-over-month growth for June compared to 2025, performance still falls short of
the ambitious 12 percent growth target established in 2024. These targets were
developed under the assumption that sales tax revenue would expand more robustly
during the 2025–2026 budget period, which has not materialized.
Additionally, the increase in construction‑related sales tax is not sustainable and is
restricted to one‑time uses. Therefore, this growth does not materially support the
General Fund’s ability to cover ongoing operating expenses, which continue to rise
significantly.
Utility Tax Revenue:
Utility Tax accounts for approximately 13% of the General Fund’s budgeted revenues.
The utility tax is assessed on providers operating within the City, including water,
sewer, natural gas, solid waste/garbage, cable television, telephone, and electricity
(such as the Public Utility District for electricity sales). Revenues are received monthly
and fluctuate based on customer usage.
In June, the City collected $303,000, representing a 13 percent decline compared to
May and a 3 percent decrease compared to the same period in 2025. The
year-over-year decrease may be attributable to warmer-than-usual winter weather,
which likely reduced utility consumption. Natural gas, cable television, and telephone
revenues are currently trending below last year’s levels.
Month-to-month variability in this revenue source is expected, and we still anticipate
meeting the budgeted amount by year-end. To date, we have collected just over 50
3
percent of the annual budget, which aligns with expectations at the halfway point of
the year.
Other General Fund Revenues:
Gambling tax revenue for the first half of 2026 is consistent with the levels reported
during the same period in 2025. However, this alignment is primarily due to bringing
several businesses current on past-due payments. A reconciliation was completed to
ensure accuracy, and staff have been working with multiple businesses to correct
reporting issues. We have begun receiving some of these outstanding payments and
will continue working with remaining businesses throughout the year. Overall
gambling activity remains below prior-year levels, but the collection of past-due
amounts has brought total revenue in line with last year’s performance for the first
half of 2026.
Licenses and non–building permit revenues have declined by 6 percent compared to
the first half of 2025. Occupational licenses, dog licenses, and franchise fees from
cable providers within city limits are all down from prior-year levels. In contrast, gun
permits and business licenses are experiencing increases compared to 2025.

In the first quarter of 2026, both revenues and expenditures were lower than in 2025;
however, expenditures exceeded revenues, which would have required the use of
fund balance to offset the shortfall if we were at year end.
In the second quarter, revenues and expenditures increased compared to 2025, and
revenues are now exceeding expenditures—an improvement in the overall financial
trajectory. Because certain major revenues, such as property taxes, are received only
twice per year and others on a quarterly basis, it remains important to manage cash
flow carefully and reserve these revenues to cover future expenses until the next
disbursements occur.
Many General Fund revenues continue to trend below both budget targets and the
projections in the Ten-Year Financial Plan. As a result, continued monitoring of the
ending fund balance is essential to ensure expenditures remain aligned with available
resources. While some reductions have already been made and necessary
cost-cutting measures implemented, additional adjustments may still be required to
maintain an adequate fund balance and avoid drawing it down to unsustainable levels
in years when expenses exceed revenues.
The Ten-Year Financial Plan anticipated fund balance reductions during this period,
driven by expenditures outpacing revenues annually unless corrective actions were
taken. The plan projects that expenditure growth will continue to exceed revenue
growth over time and identifies the need for revenue enhancements or further
expenditure reductions between 2027 and 2030 to ensure long-term financial
stability.

Investment interest revenue across all funds increased by 12 percent through June
compared to 2025. Interest rates were already elevated last year, enabling us to
exceed budget targets for this revenue source in 2025. The continued growth in 2026
reflects strong performance of our investment portfolio and is generating additional
revenue beyond projections. Our final COVID-era bond, which had lower yields,
recently matured and was reinvested, bringing our current average portfolio yield to
approximately 3.92 percent.
Streets Fund:
Motor Vehicle Fuel Tax (MVFT) revenue, which supports street maintenance and the
Street Fund, increased by 12 percent for the first six months of 2026 compared to the
same period in 2025. This growth reflects rate increases implemented under
Washington State Senate Bill 5801, effective July 1, 2025, and July 1, 2026.

Airport rental income for the first six months of 2026 is up 16 percent compared to the
same period in 2025.
Lodging Tax Fund:
The City collects a 2 percent tax on lodging stays, and the revenue generated supports
tourism-related activities in and around the community.
Lodging tax revenue for the first half of 2026 increased by 3 percent compared to the
same period in 2025. This growth will help sustain the annual Lodging Tax grant
program awarded to eligible applicants.
REET I and II: These funds are used to collect real estate excise tax on property sales
and can be used for capital projects within the City, maintenance and debt service.
Real Estate Excise Tax (REET) revenue has increased by 2 percent in the first half of
2026 compared to the same period in 2025. This represents a notable improvement
following the significant decline in 2025, when revenues fell by approximately 16
percent from 2024 levels.

Water/Sewer/Storm Funds:
Utility revenues remain stable, with water, sewer, and storm revenues each increasing
by approximately 4 percent compared to the first half of 2025. These increases are
driven by higher customer usage and the annual CPI-based rate adjustments.
