LYNNWOOD HUMAN SERVICES COMMISSION - regular Human Services Commission meeting Virtual; https://lynnwoodwa.zoom.us/j/83923848171? pwd=qQruM8cDuy2tksfh8QACvmRYA6GX5j.1 Webinar ID: 839 2384 8171 Passcode: 169212 Or in person at the Lynnwood Recreation Center (18900 44th Ave W, Lynnwood, WA 98036) WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 2025 6:00 PM A. Call to Order Land Acknowledgement We acknowledge that the City of Lynnwood is located on the traditional lands of the Snohomish Tribe and the confederation of Tulalip Tribes and their families. For generations, these Indigenous communities have lived on this land, and we recognize, support, and advocate alongside them. We also acknowledge the forced removal of Indigenous communities from their Homelands as a result of the 1855 Treaty of Point Elliott. We understand that Land Acknowledgements are only the first step in our efforts to support Coast Salish tribes and educate non-Natives about their lived history. We strive to achieve this through building relationships with Indigenous communities, supporting Indigenous commerce, government-to- government partnerships, and lifting indigenous voices to create equity for all. Through these actions, we hope to not only pay respect to the past but also collaborate in creating a sustainable future, hand in hand with the first protectors of our shared environment. B.
