In May 2022, Lynnwood City Council authorized the Mayor to sign an MOU to join the One Washington Opioid Settlement, split between Washington state, counties and cities. As a term of the settlement distribution, participating parties must allocate funds towards addressing the opioid crisis and its symptoms in their communities.
The One Washington Opioid Overdose Settlement Fund provides a resource to help address the growing need for opioid recovery and prevention services in our region. Allowable uses for these funds include:
January 2025: Lynnwood Police Department requested $400,000 to provide Medical Assisted Treatment to those staying at the Community Justice Center, approved by City Council.
March 2025: Lynnwood Police Department requested $42,330.50 of Opioid Settlement funds to support the funding of a embedded social worker from Snohomish County Outreach Team (SCOUT), approved by City Council. You can read more about the position and proposal here .
