During the recent Sequim City Council meeting on July 28, 2025, a significant discussion emerged regarding the city's waste oil disposal practices. Council members acknowledged the need to step back from current methods and explore alternative solutions. This change will be communicated to the public through a press release and new signage, allowing residents six weeks to adjust and connect with available resources in town.

In addition to the waste oil topic, the Sequim Parks, Arbor, and Recreation Board announced the completion of their review of the Parks and Open Spaces chapter of the comprehensive plan. Meanwhile, the Sequim Arts Commission finalized their review of the community character chapter, paving the way for future developments in local arts and culture.

As the meeting wrapped up, council members encouraged open communication, inviting residents to share any specific concerns or topics for future discussions. The next council meeting is scheduled for August 11 at 5 PM, where further community engagement is anticipated.
