Stand up for a healthy future for King County

Stand up for a healthy future for King County

King County faces enormous challenges: reducing toxic stormwater runoff and restoring Puget Sound; saving local farms and habitat; and reducing global warming pollution. Fortunately, there are real solutions to these challenges, and right now we have an opportunity to chart a course that ensures we build the kind of communities we’re proud to call home.

For the first time ever, King County is conducting a major update of its countywide planning policies. This is the document that sets the foundation for all development regulations in King County. This is your chance to urge the King County Growth Council to adopt policies that reduce toxic runoff into our water and support more transit.  Click here to send your message now.

WEC is joining with our partners at Futurewise and Transportation Choices Coalition to urge the King County Growth Council to include these critical solutions in their plan:

1. Reduce sprawl in rural areas and save waterways, wetlands, forests, and farms.

2. Build urban centers that support transit, reduce toxic runoff, support safe walking and biking, and include adequate housing options and jobs for everyone.

3. Meet the state and regional global warming pollution limits and work to achieve additional science-based reductions.

It’s important that the King County Growth Council hears from you. Click here to send a message to urge them to adopt policies to build a strong, healthy future for King County.
