Edmonds, WA -- As a city of barely 40,000 residents, it's a wonder that so many people spend so much money to run for office in Edmonds to win a seat on the city council here. The candidates raise more per citizen than all but three other cities in the state: Seattle, Olympia and Shoreline. They outspend the next highest city in Snohomish County by double (Everett).
I don't have a complete grasp as to why this is, but clearly people in this city go nuts over the political machine down there on 5th Ave N.
A more complete article on running for office in Edmonds, WA can be found at the Everett HeraldNet.
Here's a summary of the top spenders, per capita:
- Seattle: $1.84 raised per resident
- Olympia: $1.74
- Shoreline: $1.70
- Edmonds: $1.58
- Bellevue: $1.24
