I’m wishing everyone a meaningful MLK Day. In King County, the only jurisdiction in the nation named in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., we carry a special obligation to turn his vision for justice into action, through service, public policy, and a commitment to dignity and humanity for all.

If your home, property, or business was impacted by flooding, help may be available, but the deadline to apply for FEMA Individual Assistance is June 10. Visit disasterassistance.gov to apply or find a center, and check kingcounty.gov/floodrecovery for updates, locations, and in-person help.

A couple weeks ago, I took the oath as Executive. Since then, we have declared an emergency to protect lives, reorganized government to deliver better results, stood up to the Trump administration, and brought new leadership into the County. This is just the beginning, and I will keep you updated.

Next month and all summer long, King County Metro, Sound Transit, and regional transportation partners are working together to keep people moving during FIFA World Cup 2026™ and one of the busiest summers in our region’s history. Leave the driving to us!

Thank you Metro for bringing us all a new way to pay! Now, with Tap to Pay, riders across the region can access transit even easier. Riders ages 18 and up can tap their credit or debit card, smartphone or smartwatch to pay fare on all King County Metro modes of transit. kingcounty.gov/metro/tap2pay

Today, we officially won the race for King County Executive. This is the place that raised me, supported my family, and made my story possible. To now serve as Executive for this region, and to be the first immigrant and first millennial ever elected to the role, is the honor of my lifetime.

Thank you to everyone who has been continuing to participate in our #RegionalDayofService by supporting their local food bank. It’s not too late to donate to help feed your neighbors. Find your closest food bank using our new map tool: kingcounty.gov/food-resource-map

King County is facing historic flooding that has put lives at risk. I want to thank the county employees and first responders working long hours in extremely dangerous conditions. We are not out of the woods. For the most up to date information, visit kcemergency.com.

Black history is American history. It was an honor to lead the Black History Month flag raising celebration. Thank you to all of those who joined us in recognizing and celebrating the contributions of African American people to the United States and King County!

Our top priority is “breaking the cycle” of the distinct but overlapping issues of homelessness, behavioral health challenges, and criminal justice system involvement. Last week, we kicked off the Breaking the Cycle Workgroup to bring together partners across these systems to work together.
