Council meeting public comment sign up form

The City of Everett’s remote city council meetings are now hosted on the Zoom platform.

With this new platform, there will be a new process for providing public comment. Those wishing to speak and provide comment on an agenda item should follow these steps: 

  1. Sign up online here (or fill out the form below).
  2. Fill out the online form no later than 30 minutes prior to the start of the meeting (by 6 p.m. or by noon if on the 4th Wednesday of the month). Forms submitted after that time will not receive the Zoom link and number to speak, but may still share comments by emailing them to Council@everettwa.gov.
  3. After you've signed up, you'll receive a confirmation email with a Zoom link and phone number and further instructions for participating the day of the meeting.

Need help or have questions? Contact the City Council office at 425-257-8703 or Dwilliams@everettwa.gov.
