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

Dear Friends and Neighbors,

I recently presented two Tahoma School District employees, Dawn Wakeley and Lori Cloud, with recognitions to honor their 43 combined years of service. During their tenures, Dawn and Lori helped shape Tahoma School District into the wonderful learning institution it is today.

Congratulations to Dawn and Lori on their well-deserved retirements! I am grateful for the lasting impact they have made on many thousands of Tahoma students.

Sincerely,

Reagan Dunn
King County Councilmember

There's still time! Give your feedback on King County's 2024 Comprehensive Plan update

King County is starting a once-a-decade update to its Comprehensive Plan, a key policy document that guides how growth and development will occur over the next 20 years. It guides County decisions and services such as:

• where homes, offices, or stores can be built;
• how roads, buildings and trees contribute to the look and feel of neighborhoods;
• investments in transit, sewers, and parks;
• protection of working farms and forests; and
• access to clean water, clean air, and a healthy environment.

The 2024 Comprehensive Plan update will focus on policies related to racial equity, affordable housing, and climate change. A draft of this update is available at the Comp Plan Update webpage. 

The public has until July 15, 2023 to submit their feedback draft update. I encourage you to make your voice heard by: 

1. Sending an email at: CompPlan@kingcounty.gov   
2. Taking a short Feedback Survey
