Councilmember Patterson Delivers "Retired" Vans

This January and February, Councilmember Patterson delivered a retired King County Metro 8-passenger vans to three South King County non-profit organizations: Somali Youth & Family Club in Skyway, SeaMar Community Health Center in Des Moines, and Jewish Family Services in Kent. Since 1995, the King County Council has donated vans to non-profit agencies to help meet the transportation needs of low-income, elderly or disabled residents. The vans are part of a fleet of county vehicles that have been ‘retired’ after accruing 80,000 miles. (updated 2/9/2010)
