Every elected official and employee in King County government makes decisions, both routine and major, based on the 2010 King County Strategic Plan. The Strategic Plan will be refreshed in 2014, and right now a robust public engagement effort is underway to gather input from people that will help to guide the County’s priorities over the next five years.

King County recently launched www.OneKingCounty.info, a website designed to encourage an online conversation around key issues. Whether people choose to participate online or in-person, feedback can be submitted through Nov. 30, 2013.

Through the social media interface at www.OneKingCounty.info, people can add their ideas, support or “like” good ideas that have already been contributed, and they can share thoughts about the future of King County with their friends and families on platforms like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Google Plus.

King County residents can also participate in person at the following workshops. With the exception of the Vashon workshop, all sessions will run from 6-8 p.m.:
