Mark Your Calendar: Verdant Healthier Community Conference is Feb. 29, 2016

We are doing this in a variety of ways — by investing in community programs, by offering classes on topics of interest at the Verdant Community Wellness Center, and by trying out new ideas to support your health, like hosting a day-long conference on health and well-being called the Verdant Healthier Community Conference on Feb. 29, 2016 (Leap Day!) at the Lynnwood Convention Center.

Bike2Health shares plans for improvements
The cities of Edmonds, Lynnwood and Mountlake Terrace hosted a joint open house recently to share with the community their plans for it to be easier and safer to bicycle through the cities. Funded by a grant from the Verdant Health Commission, Bike2Health will help connect existing, disconnected bicycle lanes while adding striping and wayfinding signage. Community outreach and education is also a component of this work during the next several years. Read more about the open house in this recent article published by the My Neighborhood News Network.
