Description

King County officials are soliciting input from residents living in unincorporated areas to help guide the creation of new community needs lists. According to county data, roughly 250,000 people live in areas outside the limits of King County's 39 cities. "King County's unincorporated communities are unique, and each resident of those communities should have a say in their future," said Joe McDermott, a King County council member. "I encourage residents of the two unincorporated areas that I represent—White Center and Vashon Island—to take this online survey and play an active role in shaping the places where they live and work." We're asking residents of unincorporated King County — people who live in the rural and urban areas outside of King County's 39 cities — what they need to help their communities thrive. Please take our survey and share your priorities. https://t.co/T2Xwk3rpuu pic.twitter.com/CLD2oulNo9— King County, WA (@KingCountyWA) February 19, 2021 In a news release, county officials said the surveys will serve as the first step in identifying goals that will guide how the country prioritizes projects, adjusts services and plans other improvements.
