Upper Bear Creek Unincorporated Area Council
Serving 22,000 people in north-central King County
between the Sammamish and Snoqualmie Rivers and
north of Redmond and east of Woodinville.
The Upper Bear Creek Community Council meets the second and fourth Tuesdays of most months. The purpose of the council is to inform, assist and represent our community in dealing with King County government and other entities with respect to issues that affect our community.
In 2011, King County withdrew it's stipend support of Unincorporated Area Councils. The County felt that the six existing UAC's did not adequately represent the entirety of the county's unincorporated areas. Some of these UAC's have a long record of representing their communities in dealing with County issues. Upper Bear Creek Community Council is the youngest of them, with just under 15 years of service, and known for producing summer concerts at Cottage Lake Park.
In place of the established UAC's the Community Service Areas Project plans to cover all of unincorporated King County, serving as foundation for residents, businesses and organizations to have access to County programs and services, along with participation and engagement opportunities. Boundaries now exist for urban areas of unincorporated King County and Vashon-Maury Island, so the February 29th meeting at the Woodinville Library will focus on creation of boundaries in rural unincorporated areas. We hope to see you there!
