No matter where you're from or how long you've been here, we are committed to helping you achieve your full potential
At a time when leaders at the federal level of government are resorting to fear and division to pursue an ideology that threatens our health, safety, and environment, King County proudly remains an inclusive, welcoming community where all have the chance to thrive.
No matter where you’re from or how long you’ve been here, we are committed to helping you achieve your full potential. You belong here.
That was the theme of my seventh State of the County address, which I recently delivered at the Auburn Community and Event Center.
I described how our Best Run Government initiative was making a difference in how we deliver services, from transit to affordable housing. I had the privilege of introducing a young mother who, with the help of one of our social workers, discovered a new career in nursing, and a veteran who received housing assistance and now helps other former service members. Whether it’s confronting climate change or implementing innovative programs in juvenile justice, we are making a positive difference in people’s lives.
I’m proud of what our dedicated employees and community partners have achieved – but we must, and will, do more. This month’s summary shows how we are continuing to work together to make our region a more just, equitable place to live.
Thank you, as always, for the opportunity to serve.
Sincerely,
Dow Constantine
King County Executive
