| Larry Goldman Running for re-election to LFP City Council |
Serving on the city council the past four years has been a wonderful experience for me and I’m proud of what we’ve accomplished.
I’m running so that we can keep moving Lake Forest Park forward.
I care strongly about Lake Forest Park and have endeavored to represent the community on the city council.
Some of the city council’s accomplishments in my first term that I am most proud of include:
But there’s more work to do. If you re-elect me, my priorities for the next four years would be to:
Thank you again for your support 4 years ago. I hope to have your support for my re-election so that I can continue to serve the wonderful community of Lake Forest Park.

- Lowering speed limits to improve pedestrian safety
- Creating a healthy streets program
- Establishing a Climate Action committee and adopting a Climate Action Plan
- Starting the design of the Lakefront Park
- Reforming our ADU process
- Establishing the Regional Crisis Response agency with our neighboring cities
- Passing resolutions in support of the LGBTQ+ and immigrant communities.
But there’s more work to do. If you re-elect me, my priorities for the next four years would be to:
- Improve pedestrian safety. We need to make sure that children can safely walk to school, and that residents in all neighborhoods can safely walk and bike around.
- Implement our Climate Action Plan. The Climate Action Plan has many wonderful ideas for what the city and the community can do to preserve our critical natural environment.
- Finance and build our lakefront park. This will be the city’s first public access to Lake Washington and will allow residents to swim and kayak in Lake Washington.
- Pass middle housing regulations that meet the needs of our community. The city has a shortage of 1-2 bedroom homes. We need to lower home prices and allow residents to choose homes that meet their family’s needs.
- Set the city up on a path to a stable budget. We need to be able to maintain current service levels while also taking opportunities to expand services that are strongly desired by the community
Thank you again for your support 4 years ago. I hope to have your support for my re-election so that I can continue to serve the wonderful community of Lake Forest Park.

Mr. Goldman is incorrect on #3. The city does have publicly accessible waterfront access to Lake Washington in the form of Lyon Creek Park. While some grants and NIMBY neighbors to the immediate east of the park don't want people in the lake or launching watercraft from the dock at that park, it is still public access to the lake.
LFP is a small town and should be governed as such. It doesn't need any additional plan, program, or resolution. It doesn't need another politician or bureaucrat. It needs a plain-spoken representative who can solve practical problems.
