Big Shout out to our Proposal Advocates - Thank you for turning ideas into proposals! 

We enjoyed connecting with community members and gathering their feedback on the prioritized ideas presented by proposal advocates from East Renton, East Federal Way, Fairwood, Skyway, and White Center. Using this feedback, the proposal advocates are now working hard to develop these ideas into formal proposals for a vote this fall. Keep an eye out for updates; we're excited to see you cast your vote on the community investments for your community!
