Dear Ms. Stafford:

I would like to thank the Upper Bear Creek Community Council for hosting this year's annual Unincorporated Area Council Joint Forum on Monday, September 30, 2002, 7:00-9:00 p.m. at the Woodinville Library, 17105 Avondale Road, Woodinville. Thank you also for arranging the field trip to watch the salmon run prior to the meeting. The purpose of this forum is to promote a dialogue and exchange between citizens residing in unincorporated areas of King County and to discuss unincorporated area issues.
The forum will include the six recognized Unincorporated Area Councils (UACs) and I encourage you and members of your community to attend. I have extended an invitation to other King County Elected Officials to attend this event.
I look forward to discussing critical issues that are facing your community and how we can better meet those needs. Also, I hope to hear your priorities and concerns regarding your community's relationship with King County. Please find enclosed driving directions and a proposed agenda.
If you have any questions, please contact your Community Service Representatives, Bong Sto.Domingo at (206) 296-3325 or Marissa Alegria at (206) 205-1003. I hope to see you September 30!

Sincerely,

Ron Sims
King County Executive
