Juneteenth is upon us and King County has long led on this recognition – back in 2020, we were the first local government in WA to make Juneteenth an official employee holiday, ahead of it becoming a federal holiday the following year. It’s a day to reflect, celebrate, and recommit to the work that remains toward full economic and social justice for the descendants of enslaved African Americans and there is no better way to do that than in community.

This year I’m excited to share that our neighbors in South Park are throwing a full Juneteenth celebration today at The Scene in South Park. We’re talking Double Dutch Divas, a community line dance with The Styles of Steppin’, live music from Zhanea June & the Mach X Band, and DJ Red Culture to keep the party going. It’s a celebration of liberation, and ALL are welcome.

Thank you to KOMO News for the coverage of today’s friendly match! 🇺🇸🇦🇺

Proud to stand with the workers of UniteHere Local 8 Unite Here! Local 8 at Embassy Suites Embassy Suites by Hilton who deserve a fair contract, health care, adequate wages and more - and are striking to get it.

We are so excited to welcome the world to our beautiful region and experience some of our incredible food! 🍽️

Trying a food vendor? Look for the smiley-face food safety sign 😄🙂😕😐 – it means they’re permitted and following safe practices.

Good news: Food Safety Ratings are back online! Check any business before you go: kingcounty.gov/foodsafety/ratings

As Seattle welcomes visitors from around the world for the FIFA World Cup, this friendly match brings together public leaders from both sides of the Pacific in celebration of sport, community, and international partnership. Come out and join the fund this Thursday!

Without the reporters, their journalism, and hard work there is no Seattle Times. I stand in solidarity with the Seattle Times Union 🏔️ in their demands for a fair contract. Be it a reporter for the largest paper in the PNW or a hotel worker at one of our hotels hosting the world, one job should be enough! ✊🏽

For too long, communities in unincorporated King County areas, like White Center and Vashon-Murray Island, have faced roads and transportation infrastructure that continue to deteriorate, and the only governing body with direct ability to invest in unincorporated infrastructure is King County. Today’s action provides much needed relief for unincorporated roads, bikes lanes and sidewalks to be built on the horizon - and calls on King County to work on near-future complementary efforts create a Transit Package to add busses and transit services.
