Your Weekly Update on What's Happening at the King County Council  

Dear Friends and Neighbors,

This week, I enjoyed meeting with the south Bellevue community at my town hall! There was a fantastic turnout and an important discussion about how King County and the City of Bellevue can work together to keep Bellevue one of the best places to live in the nation.

I am grateful to everyone who took the time to attend, and to Bellevue City Councilmember Conrad Lee and Bellevue Police Captain Robert Spingler for representing the City of Bellevue. 

I look forward to hosting my next town hall meeting for the Enumclaw Plateau next month on May 4th! If you live in that area, mark your calendar and stay tuned for more details. 

All my best,

Reagan Dunn
King County Councilmember
District 9
