Lake Stevens City Council members showcased their creativity during a special meeting on December 17, 2024, as they discussed an innovative approach to community education through music. The idea, proposed by the mayor, involves creating a rap song to promote environmental awareness, particularly focusing on water conservation.

Shannon, a department representative, shared excitement about the project, hinting at a potential music video titled "Lake Health." The catchy chorus, "Lake Stevens, keep it clean, keep it right. Water shining bright like a diamond in the light," was presented, sparking enthusiasm among council members. The collaboration aims to engage local youth, with plans for them to contribute beats and possibly perform.

In addition to the musical initiative, the council authorized the mayor to sign contract amendments with the conservation district for 2025-2026, ensuring continued efforts in environmental protection.

This unique blend of creativity and civic responsibility highlights Lake Stevens' commitment to engaging the community in important issues while fostering a fun and educational atmosphere. The council looks forward to the upcoming musical project, which promises to deliver vital messages in an entertaining format.
