The Edmonds Environmental Council (EEC) said Saturday it is welcoming prior members of the Alliance of Citizens for Edmonds (ACE) into its membership.
According to a news release from EEC Board President Joe Scordino, the ACE board of directors notified their membership in December 2025 that ACE was closing as an active organization at year-end — but that the board would explore having its members become part of another like-minded organization.
“After determining that the EEC had similar ACE goals for bringing a balance between development and the natural and human environment — the ACE Board requested and the EEC Board agreed to have prior members of ACE become part of the EEC without payment of dues,” Scordino said. “ACE also is transferring their remaining assets to the EEC to support this mission.”
Scordino noted that the groups’ shared goals “are to engage constructively with Edmonds, adjacent cities and unincorporated areas, to revise and update planning Goals, policies, strategies and regulations; to educate our community; and, to campaign for the protection of the natural and human environment.”
With this change, the Edmonds Environmental Council is also opening new membership (without dues) to others in the community who support the EEC’s mission and goals. Members are asked to make a suggested donation of $20 for the 2026 calendar year to help defer EEC’s legal costs incurred when municipal decisions have to be appealed or litigated, Scordino said.
