The Metropolitan King County Council will hold a special evening Town Hall Meeting in West Seattle to address the response of local governments and utilities to the December windstorm.

The meeting will be held on Monday, February 5 at the Hall at Fauntleroy, 9131 California Ave. SW. An informal reception with Council members will begin at 6:30 p.m. The program will follow at 7:00 p.m.

“West Seattle, Vashon and Maury Islands, and nearby suburban cities were especially hard hit by the storm, with hundreds of fallen trees, long-lasting power outages, and significant flooding,” said Councilmember Dow Constantine. “We hope this meeting can serve not just as an opportunity to vent about storm-related problems, but as a thorough review of lessons learned and a catalyst for changes this region can make to be better prepared in the future.”

Constantine represents the Eighth County Council District, which includes West Seattle, the unincorporated North Highline area, the Duwamish Valley, Vashon and Maury Islands, Burien, Normandy Park and portions of the cities of SeaTac and Tukwila.
