The Community Service Areas program informs, involves, and empowers people and communities in unincorporated King County by…
- Expanding outreach and communication to a wide range of community organizations.
- Identifying a county employee who will serve as a liaison, ombudsman, and information clearinghouse for each Community Service Area.
- Providing a work plan for each Community Service Area that lays out the county’s goals, services, and projects for that area as well as issues identified by area residents and/or businesses.
- Holding meetings in each Community Service Area to introduce the area’s work plan, give residents opportunities to meet with King County leaders, and address issues as needed.
- Providing resources to communities in unincorporated areas through the Community Service Area Grant Program, which offers matching funds for community-led projects through a yearly grant application process for community organizations.
Community Engagement Grants
Subvención de Participación Comunitaria
The purpose of these grants is to provide matching funds for projects that help residents participate in—and be more connected to—their communities. Funded projects must demonstrate how they are accessible to all residents, regardless of race, income, or language.
Community Engagement Grants support projects that advance the King County Strategic Plan and achieve one of the following goals:
- Promote the engagement of unincorporated area residents in community or civic activities
- Educate local residents about issues impacting them
- Implement a community enhancement project
- Meet King County’s equity and social justice goals of increasing fairness and opportunity for all people, particularly for people of color, low-income communities and people with limited English proficiency.

On March 18, King County Executive Dow Constantine announced 60 grants to support projects and events in unincorporated parts of the county. Grants were awarded to community organizations in each of King County’s seven Community Service Areas. This year’s successful applications include:
- Boys and Girls Clubs of King County—support for a teen late-night event series for youths in White Center
- A community group in the Enumclaw Plateau—funds to help community engagement and education
- The Snoqualmie Valley Food Bank—funds to enhance outdoor space at their facility
In 2010, the King County Council sought a new approach for engaging with residents in unincorporated areas. Executive Constantine proposed creating a “robust public engagement program that informs, involves, and empowers people and communities.” With guidance from the County’s strategic plan, the county created seven Community Service Areas to represent all unincorporated residents and communities.
The King County Strategic Plan directs us to…
- Expand opportunities to seek input, listen, and respond to residents
- Empower people to play an active role in shaping their future
- Improve public awareness of what King County does
