King County Community Service Area program hosts spring open house series

Public has opportunity to comment on County budget direction, learn about small grant opportunities, and be informed about current projects in local communities

Residents of unincorporated King County can meet with County officials, learn about small grant opportunities for their community, and be informed about current County work in their community during a series of open houses, scheduled in April, May and June.

Sponsored by the King County Community Service Area (CSA) program, the open houses are an excellent opportunity for residents of unincorporated areas to learn more about King County’s work in their specific community.

Open houses will take place from 7-9 p.m. The first fifteen minutes will give opportunities for residents to meet with representatives of specific County departments and branches.  Staff will also be available to provide help with potential CSA small grant applications.  The meetings are scheduled for:
