County Workshop to Create Community Service Area Boundaries for Unincorporated Areas

The closet meeting for residents of Woodinville to attend will be in Carnation on Tuesday, Dec. 6.

 

People living in unincorporated Woodinville have only two chances left to voice their opinions about the creation of King County’s new community service areas, the county’s new system for representing unincorporated areas. The closest meeting to Woodinville is on Dec. 6 in Carnation, another meeting will be Dec. 7 in Enumclaw.

The move also is supposed to save the county money. For more information contact, Marissa Alegria, Marissa.Alegria@kingcounty.gov or Bong StoDomingo, Bong.StoDomingo@kingcounty.gov
