    A year ago the COVID outbreak in America started in King County. But today, after all your sacrifice and vigilant mask wearing, we have one of the lowest case rates in the country. Your efforts quite literally saved lives.

Text reads, "Celebrating the women who move Metro" and "International Women's Day 2021" All photos are from the last year and the women are wearing protective face masks

    This project is emblematic of the challenges we are facing in King County with respect to infrastructure – we have many roads in the County like this one, and our funding is extremely limited. Thankfully, with some effort, we did receive reimbursement from FEMA for this project.
