During the this weekend’s ceremonies and festivities honoring Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Metropolitan King County Councilman Larry Gossett will continue to garner support for his proposal to change the official logo of King County from a crown to a likeness of Dr. King.

The weekend’s efforts will culminate on Monday, Jan. 17 when people participating in the annual Martin Luther King Jr. Day Rally march from Garfield High School to the King County Courthouse. At the park on the south side of the courthouse, Gossett will be presented with petitions supporting Ordinance 99-0472 to change the logo.
