King County Councilmember Girmay Zahilay

Friends and Neighbors,

I hope you and your loved ones are staying safe and healthy! This is your friendly neighborhood King County Councilmember, Girmay Zahilay. I wanted to check in, let you know what my office has been working on, and invite your input.

By way of introduction, I am your King County Councilmember, not to be confused with your City of Seattle Councilmember. For those of you who are not familiar with King County government, and are not sure how it differs from City government, I made a short King County 101 video explaining the difference between county and city government.

I represent King County’s District 2, which includes the University District, Laurelhurst, Ravenna, Eastlake, Capitol Hill, the Central District, South Seattle, Allentown, and Skyway. You can find a map of the district here.

My team and I send regular email updates to people who live in our district. If you know anyone who would like to receive these updates, please be sure to send them over to our County Council website to sign up for our e-newsletter!
