At our November7th meeting, we were joined by Major Koby Hamill, Commander of Precinct 4 of the King County Sheriff’s Office (KCSO), and Capt. Chris Przygocki. They told us about changes that are taking place in the Sheriff’s office and how KCSO works with our community. This month, KCSO will be represented by our Community Service Officer who has an office at Steve Cox Park.
Also at the November meeting, the Department of Local Services was represented by David Daw, External Relations Director, and Jesse Reynolds. The conversation included many concerns about safety issues, particularly those involving walking or driving in North Highline. David and Jesse will be back on Thursday night and will bring a representative from King County’s Department of Roads with them.

Please join NHUAC’s second in person meeting since 2020! The meeting will take place in the newly remodeled North Highline Fire Station at 1243 SW 112th Street in White Center.
Last month’s meeting introduced Leon Richardson, the new Director of King County’s Department of Local Services (DLS). DLS is responsible for providing essential services such as permitting, zoning, code enforcement and road services to North Highline and the other unincorporated areas of King County.
Mr. Richarson said that he would get back to us about several items that were brought up in October. Unfortunately, he has a scheduling conflict with NHUAC’s November7th meeting. However, David Daw, External Relations Director for DLS, will stand in for Leon Richardson. We look forward to hearing from him.
The King County Sheriff’s Office (KCSO) has also been making some changes in the people who work with Precinct 4, which includes our area. Our last Storefront Deputy, Glen Brannon, was not at October’s meeting because he is no longer assigned to North Highline. This month we will be joined by Captain Chris Przygocki. We’re looking forward to meeting him and learning when we will have a Storefront Deputy and how North Highline will be protected until then.
Do you have questions or something you want to share – perhaps an idea for a future meeting? Come, share and bring a friend!

Please join us for NHUAC’s first in person meeting since 2020! It’s been a long time since we met in person, but it’s finally here. The meeting will take place in the newly remodeled North Highline Fire Station at 1243 SW 112th Street in White Center.
This long awaited opportunity to reconnect with our neighbors and make new friends will include a presentation by Leon Richardson, the recently appointed Director of King County’s Department of Local Services.
In 2019, the Department of Local Services began with the goal of developing “new and better ways to serve” unincorporated King County. It became responsible for providing essential services such as permitting, zoning, code enforcement and road services to North Highline and the other unincorporated areas of King County. We look forward to meeting Director Richardson and learning how he thinks his department can support the North Highline community.
See you Thursday at 7 pm!

On Thursday, June 6th at 7 pm you are invited to join NHUAC’s last meeting before our summer break. It is sure to be an information packed discussion about important issues in and opportunities for the North Highline community.
Our new King Councilmember, Teresa Mosqueda, will update us after her first 5 months on the council. She chairs three important committees: (1) King County Board of Health, (2) Health and Human Services Committee and (3) Regional Transit Committee. We’ll ask her about the ways life, health, and safety in North Highline can be improved by her work and her goal of improving “…social determinants of health so a kiddo born anywhere in the county has the opportunity to grow up healthy and happy.” Have any suggestions? Join us and add your voice to this important conversation.
We will also be joined by Jim Chan, King County’s Division Director for Permitting, and David Daw, External Relations Manager. We hope they will be able to report progress in gaining compliance from Tim’s Tavern with the county’s noise ordinance and zoning, which prohibits outside music venues in White Center. White Center’s Storefront Deputy, Detective Glen Brannon, will also be invited to participate in the conversation.
In urban areas such as North Highline, raw sewage can quickly impact neighbors. Keeping On-site Sewage/Septic Systems (OSS) safe and working well is vital to keeping all of us healthy. Public Health’s Meagan Jackson, OSS Interim Assistant Division Director, Environmental Health Division, and Lara Brezina, Interim Program Manager, OSS Operation and Maintenance, will update us on OSS.
Last, but certainly not least, Detective Brannon will share what the Sheriff’s Office has been doing to help make a safe North Highline.

Have you visited White Center’s beautiful library lately? If you are a frequent library user, you know that libraries do far more than just loan out books. Join us in welcoming White Center librarian Destinee Sutton to learn about some of the benefits you may be missing. (Hint: Been to the zoo lately? How about the Seattle Art Museum?) By meeting’s end, we think you will want to do yourself and yours a favor by visiting this great community resource behind Mt. View Elementary on the 1400 block of SW 107th.
Destinee will be followed by Jim Chan, King County’s Division Director for Permitting. In addition to issuing permits for land use and construction, the Department of Permitting’s responsibilities include Code Enforcement. Noise issues are bound to increase as the weather improves and you open your windows. Join us and learn what progress is being made to resolve these issues.
Last but not least, we will be joined by Detective Glen Brannon. Don’t miss this opportunity to share your concerns and learn what the King County Sheriff’s Office has been doing in our area.

You are invited! Please join NHUAC on Thursday, March 7th at 7 pm via Zoom. NHUAC aims to keep you in touch with the people who are doing things and making decisions that affect the White Center/North Highline community. This month’s meeting will begin with Sandy Hunt and Andrea O’Ferrall. They will share information and answer questions about Defenders of Highline Forest. Never heard of Highline Forest? Join us and learn!
Andrea and Sandy will be followed by John Taylor, director of King County’s Department of Local Services from its beginning in 2018 until last month. Local Services’ responsibilities include managing land use, issuing permits, enforcing code, and maintaining roads. The county’s news release about John’s transition to the Natural Resources and Parks department describes him as a “proven leader to reinforce King County’s reputation as a trusted environmental steward and manage one of the largest metropolitan natural resource agencies in the country.” We look forward to hearing what John sees in the future for our community and its interactions with these two important connections to our local government.
We have a lot to ask Detective Glen Brannon about from gunfire that hit Patrick’s Café and Bakery to a major drug bust that included 71,000 M-30 Fentanyl pills, 31 pounds of Methamphetamine and 1.12 pounds of heroin. Don’t miss this opportunity to share your concerns and thanks with Detective Brannon.
