EDMONDS — A lawsuit challenging the city of Edmonds’ new rules around firearm storage can move forward, a Snohomish County judge has ruled.

Superior Court Judge Anita Farris issued an order Tuesday after questioning a February request from the city’s attorneys to hear additional arguments.

Thursday was the day the ordinance went into effect.

The Edmonds law requires gun owners to keep their firearms locked up and inaccessible to others, especially children. It is similar to a Seattle law that was challenged by the National Rifle Association. A King County judge tossed out that case.
