About

The Willowmoor Project's Stakeholder Advisory Committee is a group assembled to review, comment on, and make recommendations regarding the Willowmoor project. It is not a decision-making body. The committee will serve as a sounding board at key project milestones. Members have been selected by the King County project team and the King County Flood Control District to represent a wide range of interests in the project area, including residents, businesses, community groups, property owners, park users and public agencies.

Primary tasks

  1. Articulate desired future outcomes of the project from stakeholder organization perspectives.
  2. Help to develop project alternatives.
  3. Assist in the selection of a “preferred alternative” for the project.
  4. Exchange information and ideas with the project team and other stakeholders.
  5. Disseminate information about the project to their membership and peers.
  6. Provide a public voice to help guide the project toward implementation.
