About King County

Summary The King County Council recently approved Executive Dow Constantine’s proposal to allocate nearly $30 million in grants funded by the King County Parks Levy that will support 53 projects led by cities, park districts, school districts, and community organizations throughout the region.

U.S. Sen. Patty Murray and U.S. Sen. Maria Cantwell secured a $25 million grant administrated by the U.S. Department of Transportation that will help King County Parks complete the southern segment of Eastrail, an emerging 42-mile regional trail connected to high-capacity transit. 

Executive Constantine’s proposal to renew the six-year King County Parks Levy would increase the agency’s capacity to keep parks and trails clean, safe, and open, offer new amenities and recreational activities, create a climate response fund, increase capacity for forest stewardship, and accelerate regional trail expansion.
