Councilmember Girmay Zahilay KING COUNTY COUNCILMEMBER GIRMAY ZAHILAY CONNECT WITH COUNCILMEMBER GIRMAY ZAHILAY Send me an email: Girmay.Zahilay@kingcounty.gov Friends and Neighbors, I hope you and your loved ones are staying safe and healthy! This is your friendly neighborhood King County Councilmember, Girmay Zahilay. I wanted to check in, let you know what my office has been working on, and invite your input. By way of introduction, I am your King County Councilmember, not to be confused with your City of Seattle Councilmember. For those of you who are not familiar with King County government, and are not sure how it differs from City government, I made a short King County 101 video explaining the difference between county and city government here. I represent King County’s District 2, which includes the University District, Laurelhurst, Ravenna, Eastlake, Capitol Hill, the Central District, South Seattle, Allentown, and Skyway. You can find a map of the district here. My team and I send regular email updates to people who live in our district. If you know anyone who would like to receive these updates, please be sure to send them over to our County Council website to sign up for our e-newsletter! What We’ve Been Working on This Past Year My office has worked tirelessly this year to address our region’s most pressing challenges. We championed transformational initiatives like building crisis care centers to help our neighbors experiencing mental illness and substance use disorders get off the street and into care. We organized effective public safety strategies in key neighborhoods like Rainier Beach, Mt. Baker, and the Central District. We balanced and passed a $15.8 billion budget and secured major investments in affordable housing, infrastructure, and community centers. In 2023, I will continue to prioritize affordable housing and ending homelessness, public safety, and helping our economy recover from the pandemic. We will keep working hard for you and we invite you to partner with us on building the King County we all want to see.
