Purpose and Goal
Five North King County communities sharing strategies for regional economic vitality.
The 2005 North King program was designed to identify specific activities and possible strategies for bringing economic investment and other opportunity to the five North King County communities of Bothell, Kenmore, Lake Forest Park, Shoreline and Woodinville. Emphasis was given to acquiring information that employers can use in their strategic decision-making during the next two years. The program was a cooperative effort by King County Councilmember Carolyn Edmonds with the five cities, chambers and other business associations, local employers and other community leaders. Ongoing activities were identified that encouraged the five communities to work together during the next two years on mutually beneficial programs and activities. TOP
Background
A major Summit luncheon took place at the University of Washington – Bothell / Cascadia Community College on April 5, 2005. The event attracted an overflow, standing-room-only crowd of more than 200 leaders from business, government and service organizations. A three-volume project report was published and made available to the public. Support for the project was provided by more than 20 public- and private-sector organizations. Project organizers and participants agreed that the project should be updated every two years. TOP
