Eatonville meeting summaries, agendas, and minutes

Eatonville agendas: farmers market rules, housing fee waiver, water rate review

Eatonville's Town Council agenda for Oct. 6 listed a first reading on permitting farmers markets, a resolution waiving town fees for affordable housing, and a directive to review water and wastewater rates. The town has not published minutes for that meeting, so the record available does not show whether any item was voted on or approved. The same limit applies to every meeting in this roundup: the summaries below come from agendas and notices, not from recorded outcomes.

Council: farmers markets, fee waiver, water rates

The Regular Council Meeting was set for Tuesday, Oct. 6, 2026, at 7:30 PM at Town Hall, 307 E Kennedy Blvd. The agenda listed a public hearing and first reading on amending existing use regulations in Chapter 65 to permit farmers markets.

About this roundup

This summary is drawn from agendas posted by the Town of Eatonville. Agendas list what a body intends to consider; they are not a record of what was decided. Where minutes have not been published, this roundup does not report outcomes, votes, or dollar amounts, because the supplied records do not contain them.
