By working together, in common purpose, we were one of the first public employers in the nation to enact paid parental leave for all our King County employees. https://www.kingcounty.gov/audience/employees/pay-benefits/paid-parental-leave.aspx …
Last year, I created the Department of Local Services to bring a new level of attention to the unincorporated areas & the quarter million residents, who, taken together, would constitute the 2nd largest city in the state! https://www.kingcounty.gov/depts/local-services.aspx …
Almost immediately, they were put to work responding to the worst winter storm in decades. Our roads crews ended up plowing 20,000 miles of roads.pic.twitter.com/UV1ywvUC12
We stand united in our mission to deliver unparalleled customer service. No one exemplifies that commitment more than Eric Stark, the Metro operator & Amalgamated Transit Union 587 member who garnered headlines for what he did on the job.https://www.nbcnews.com/video/seattle-bus-driver-describes-moment-of-shooting-1468181059760 …
For their service to King County, I would like you to join me in acknowledging Eric and his wife Kim, who is also part of our King County family.
Customer service also means being a good steward of our tax dollars. We have created comprehensive financial policies to best manage risk, & have saved +$540 million in interest costs through aggressive debt refinancing and other financial practices. https://kingcounty.gov/council/budget.aspx …
We have come a long way from the days of furloughs and foreclosures. Today, our region is experiencing unprecedented prosperity—and we’re providing more transit service, more human services, and more health care.pic.twitter.com/SosMEYF1ag
We are protecting what makes this place special, and standing up for our values at a time when they are under constant attack by the federal government. https://kingcounty.gov/elected/executive/constantine/news/release/2018/June/09-federal-detention-families.aspx …
As we take on difficult assignments, following our True North means uniting our progressive policies and Best Run Government to solve some of the most difficult and long-standing challenges. That is especially true for our reforms of the juvenile legal system.pic.twitter.com/HBtkmcm7M7
In 2009, the average daily population of youth held on juvenile charges at the Youth Services Center was 110. This week: 41. We must go even further, and we have a plan to do just that. Our Road Map to Zero Youth Detention: https://www.kingcounty.gov/depts/health/zero-youth-detention.aspx …
And of course, we are addressing homelessness. This year, I will present a plan to Council that will thoroughly reform how we direct our regional homelessness response.
Gone will be siloed human services & homelessness efforts operating separately within King County & the City of Seattle. Instead, we will set up a new structure that will be jointly funded and accountable.
As I look back on all that we have accomplished together, I am certain of our vision, I am confident in our priorities, and I am ready to tackle the work ahead. I hope you’re with me.
Some things to look forward to in the next year: the next frontier for @kcmetrobus, who are completely rethinking mobility, and how to bridge the last mile between your home and a transit stop.

Also, improved on-demand information.
We're excited to announce that in the next few months, apps like One Bus Away will be able to alert customers when their bus trip is canceled or a bus stop is added or closed. 
The next frontier for @kcmetrobus is completely rethinking mobility and how to bridge the last mile between your home and high-capacity transit. This is the genesis of our newest on-demand service, which we launched this week with @SoundTransit and @seattledotpic.twitter.com/elSlVxHZac
