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

Dear Friends and Neighbors,

The King County Council is on recess this week, meaning there was no Council or committee meetings this past week. However, session will be reconvene next week and we'll be back in full swing!

During our short break, I paid a visit to the Maple Valley City Council to present on the State of the County. This is the third State of the County I've delivered in the past couple of months. It is always a pleasure to connect with local elected officials face-to-face, share information about County activities, and hear about the latest developments in city government.
