On Friday, June 6th, 2025, North Star will host a joint meeting with the Skagit Board of County Commissioners and mayors and city councils from the Cities of Mount Vernon, Burlington, Sedro-Woolley, and Anacortes.

The intent of the joint meeting is to strengthen collaboration under the North Star initiative by deepening mutual understanding and building trust between jurisdictions and Skagit County. Topics for the meeting include an overview of current North Star work and priorities, a discussion on shared funding opportunities, and gauging interest in a formal partnership between the County and all four cities.

The strength of North Star comes from the ability to work together, collaborating with local governments, elected leaders, and provider partners, to solve our most pressing community issues. North Star has shown what is possible when we align our efforts to help people in need and ensure we are helping those in the community who need it most. Information about North Star, who’s involved, current work and priorities, meeting recaps, and more, can be found on the North Star website: www.northstarskagit.org [ [link removed] ]

 

*Background on North Star*

North Star is a public-private partnership between Skagit County, our four local cities, housing and healthcare providers, first responders, and many other community leaders. Using a collaborative approach to pool our resources, coordinate action, and streamline essential community services in housing, behavioral health and recovery, and crisis response, North Star is working to address chronic homelessness and create a thriving Skagit for all. Working together across jurisdictions to solve complex issues is unique in our region. It is also more effective, costs less, and gets people the support and services they need when they need them.
