Podcast: King County Seeks Residents To Shape Skyway And White Center Funding Decisions

King County is launching the next phase of its Participatory Budgeting process, inviting residents to join the Community Advisory Board. This board will help shape funding decisions in Skyway and White Center by designing the 2026 Participatory Grantmaking process and developing community engagement strategies. The initiative aims to ensure residents, particularly those historically marginalized, have a meaningful voice in identifying local priorities. Applications for the paid advisory board are open until June 7.
