At the North Highline Unincorporated Area Council (NHUAC) Meeting!
When: Thursday, May 7th @ 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 130th 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 108th Ave, the White Center Food Bank moved to 16th 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.

It is with deep sadness that we share the news of the death of longtime NHUAC board member, Liz Giba, who passed away on March 18th. In recent years as Board President, Liz worked tirelessly organizing NHUAC meetings, mentoring board members, and advocating for White Center, the community that she deeply loved.
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 16th 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 16th 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.
Thanks to everyone who attended the informative Oct 2nd NHUAC meeting with guests, King County Sheriff, Patti Cole Tindall and King County Executive Candidates, Claudia Balducci and Girmay Zahilay. If you missed the meeting please see the excellent reporting and video from whitecenternow.
NHUAC will be taking a winter break with meetings resuming in February, 2026.
In the meantime: Election Day is November 4th. The Ballot drop box has moved from the White Center Library to Steve Cox Memorial Park.

North Highline Unincorporated Council Invites You to Our October 2, 2025 Meeting
The Opportunity to Be Informed, Be Involved and Be Heard!

(Parking and Entrance Are Behind the Station)
Hope everyone Had a wonderful Labor Day weekend. It is always hard to say goodbye to summer. Fortunately, there are plenty of long days and good weather to enjoy as we move into fall.
NHUAC’s meeting on Thursday, October 2nd at 7 pm at the White Center Fire Station is sure to be interesting. Because North Highline is an unincorporated area (not part of a city), King County serves both our regional (county) and municipal governments.
The King County Sheriff’s Office (KCSO) is an essential part of our community. This month, NHUAC will be joined by Sheriff Patti Cole-Tindall. Sheriff Cole-Tindall was appointed in May of 2022 by King County Executive Dow Constantine and confirmed by the King County Council as the 35th sheriff of King County. Don’t miss this opportunity to get her perspective and share yours.
Many of the decisions that will form our future will be made by the next King County Executive and King County Council. King County government’s impacts include: “public health to economic and ethnic justice to segregation and discrimination to displacement, fair housing and opportunity, to schools, parks and open spaces to density and permitting to roads to infrastructure, police, and public safety to fireworks and cannabis shops to taxes and the budget….”
NHUAC is pleased that our October 2nd meeting will feature a candidate forum with King County Councilmembers Claudia Balducci and Girmay Zahilay. They are running for the position previously held by Dow Constantine – King County Executive. If you have attended any of our past forums, you know there will be plenty of time to ask your questions.
Noticed a need for more trees in North Highline? Sandy Hunt will share her perspective on Thursday night. Don’t miss it!
Knowledge Is Power.
Learn, share, and help make North Highline a healthier community.
Thursday, October 2, 2025 at 7 pm – Invite Your Neighbors!
As has been our history, we take a break in July, August and September. Monthly meetings will resume in October. Check back for updates. Hope to see you then.
