The Opportunity to Be Informed, Be Involved and Be Heard

Hope everyone is well and enjoying these wonderful late summer days. We are happy to be back and look forward to seeing you Thursday, Sept 3^rd when we will be hosting Regional Planning Manager, Erin Auzins who will provide information and updates on the scope of work for the 2029 Midpoint Update to the Comprehensive Plan.  

“The King County Comprehensive Plan is the main policy document that guides land use, growth, and regional services in unincorporated King County.

It acts as a long-term roadmap to comply with the Washington State Growth Management act.”

What the Plan Covers

• Land Use: Decides where homes, offices, and stores can be built, and sets boundaries for rural and urban growth.
• Regional Services: Guides county investments in transit, sewers, parks, trails, roads, and solid waste.
• Environment & Resources: Protects working farms, forests, clean air, and clean water

We are also pleased to host the Director of Local Services (DLS), Leon Richardson. In way of history, in 2019 DLS began with the goal of developing “new and better ways to serve” unincorporated King County. DLS is responsible for providing essential services such as permitting, zoning, road services and code enforcement, all important issues for our community.

Thanks to everyone for showing up and supporting your community.
See you Thursday, Sept 3rd at 7pm.

At the North Highline Unincorporated Area Council (NHUAC) Meeting!

When: Thursday, May 7^th @ 7pm
Where: North Highline Fire Station in White Center
1243 SW 112th Street  (Parking and Entrance are in the Back of the Station)

Plan on joining NHUAC for an informative meeting where we will hear from the organizations who make a difference in the lives of North Highline Residents.

Noticed a need for more trees in North Highline? Sandy Hunt will share her perspective and the work that the “Defenders of Highline Forest” are doing to preserve and add to these precious resources.

Curious about the construction going on off Ambaum at 130^th Street. Well, the exciting news is that the family shelter, Mary’s Place, is developing a unique campus of co-located permanent affordable housing alongside a new shelter facility at this site. Chief Executive Officer, Dominque Alex will be on hand to provide updates and information about this exciting addition to the Highline Communtiy.

Food Banks play a key role in making our food systems stronger. They help provide a local food source for communities and, especially during tough times, make sure fewer people go hungry. After years of being located off 108^th Ave, the White Center Food Bank moved to 16^th Ave in the heart of White Center and continues to play an important role in the community. We are pleased to host Randy Nguyen, Marketing & Community Engagement Manager of the WC Food Bank who will provide updates and ways that we all can contribute to this important organization.

Knowledge Is Power
Learn, share, and help make North Highline a healthier community.

We are forever grateful for having known and worked with Liz. She will be deeply missed.

Greetings and hope everyone is having a good start to 2026. 

NHUAC is happy to be back with our first meeting of the new year.

If you have been wondering about all the road work taking place on 16^th Ave, now is your chance to find out. We are pleased to be hosting Amy Bresslour, from King County Road Services Division.  She will provide updates not only on the 16^th Ave project, but also on other planned projects in North Highline.  Come prepared because there will be plenty of time for questions.

At the October,2025 meeting we heard from Sheriff Patti Cole-Tindall, who noted that KCSO staffing is still “challenged – 100 vacancies out of 805”. With that said, the White Storefront Deputy position remains vacant, but has been promised to be filled when staffing improves. Of course, there are always deputies covering North Highline, and we were reminded to call 911 to report emergencies. Nate Hammock, White Center CSO, provided NHUAC with the most recent crime stats that we will share at the meeting. 

Thanks to everyone for showing up and supporting our community. 

See you Thursday, Feb 5^th at 7pm.
