The Maple Valley Farmers' Market is a wonderful organization that provides space for our community to gather while supporting local farmers and artisans. I am proud to deliver a $10,000 grant from King County to help fund their events! Learn more at the Maple Valley Farmers' Market website and stop by for a visit on a Saturday this summer!
Last May, following a tragic fatal car crash that rocked the Fairwood community, I introduced legislation to study options for improving road safety on 140th Ave SE in Fairwood. This legislation would take a comprehensive look at ideas from the community for improving road safety—such as roundabouts, cameras, and increased traffic enforcement—so that together we can act to protect our community from dangerous driving.
This legislation is scheduled for discussion and possible action at next week's Local Services and Land Use Committee meeting on Wednesday, July 17, at 9:30 AM.
